Nino NINO502

A Classic Percussion Instrument... in an Adapted Version

Claves are among the most iconic instruments of Afro-Cuban and Latin American percussion. This NINO small format model follows the traditional principle (one stick acts as a resonator, the other strikes) while prioritizing ergonomics: a more compact size, better suited for small hands and musical awakening contexts.

For Whom and For What? A Simple, Fun, and Highly Effective Percussion

These claves are aimed at those who want to add a precise pulse to an ensemble: school workshops, rhythmic initiation, budding percussionists, or musicians seeking an immediate Latin color. From 3 years old, they are an excellent choice to work on coordination, regularity, and group listening without complex technique.

A Direct Sound and Quick Handling

The Principle of Claves: Attack, Projection, Groove

The playing is intuitive: one clave is placed as support (resonator), then struck with the other to obtain a sharp attack and a well-defined click. Their small size facilitates holding, allows long playing without fatigue, and helps maintain a clean and regular strike.
