Guiro Page
I bought a guiro today at the little wacky crowded music store in Kensington Market....not the traditional gourd instrument, but a wood one. I liked the sound...it came with a wood striker, but the little store I bought it from had others that came with a metal rake, which produces a much better sound....I asked, and the proprietor gave me one of the rakes too. The guiro is used in quite a bit of Latin American music, including Cuban music (about which I know little), and Cumbia, from Colombia.

I like it. They would be great in the classroom...someday could you come in with a squeeze box?
that might be a lot of fun, Tim. Do you do a lot of music in the classroom?
