LP Matador M283 Maracas

These maracas are much louder than my Mexican "turista" maracas. The hard plastic shells make a crisper sound than paper mache or gourds or whatever. And they must be filled with metal pellets or buckshot- not rocks or beans. At least they sound like it. They really cut through the volume of a large brass band. Since they are so symmetrical in construction, it's easy to get softer, swishier, rounder sounds from them, especially when they are held upside down when played. And they seem very sturdy. I have used them as beaters on the bottom of a large, upside down, plastic trash can (our bass drum player was absent). They held up well. But I see the plastic head is attached to the comfortable wooden handle with only three rivets (is it glued also?) so I do not recommend this type of rough use.

This sound that comes out of this Maracas is perfect. Sound professional ! If you are looking for a good Maracas this is it. Construction is strong, we use it every Sunday on our church and after 2 year still in perfect condition.

These maracas are quite loud. They seem to be well built and hopefully will last me many years!!

Good price. Really loud. Really good for parrandas. Would recommend.

These are so great and they make really loud noise! I use them for my church and our services run loud and these can be heard over the noise.

bought these to play at church and they are awesome. You can hear them even with the organ and the drums. I am impressed and for the price, they cannot be beat. They were delivered promptly and I would recommend this item to others.

They were definitely a little bit bigger than I expected, but they are very easy to hear. They look very professional too and my sister was shocked that I only spent a little over $20 for them! Would have rated it a five if they had been a tad bit smaller.

Buena calidad de sonido

❤ 'em both. 10/10. The sound on both are LOUD yet different. Both great! Simply the best! Better than all the rest! All others pale in comparison and are toy-like; but not these two kinds. In fact, the others sound like baby rattles in comparison! These will be used at a church praise party! Added ribbons for cultural flare! Saw these on YouTube and Amazon came through with them. They come in sets of 2s. The yellow ones are: Maracas 5 LP281 PRO & black ones: Maracas LP Matador. The yellow is the LOUDER of the two and are said to be THE BEST.

Funcionaron súper bien, tienen buena acústica y son súper manejables

Instrument avec une sonorité tres puissante,costaud.Bien

Excelente producto. Tamaño y peso ideal. Una más grave que la otra.Buena calidad de materiales.

The media could not be loaded. Son muy buenas, me gusto el acabado del mando. Aunque son un poco pesadas y grandes tienden a chocar entre ellas. Pero fuera de eso son muy buenas
