Guiros

Welcome to our guiro collection, where you can discover various percussion instruments. The guiro, a distinctive musical instrument, is played by scraping a stick over its carved indents, producing rhythmic sounds. Originating from either Africa or South America, the guiro's history remains mysterious.

Discover handcrafted guiro instruments like the Green Cricket Guiro, a hand-carved wooden piece that has hand-painted designs. These authentic guiros showcase the skill of our artisans.

Our Bamboo Guiro Rasps offer a raw yet refined sound crafted from sustainable bamboo for those drawn to natural materials for an eco-conscious choice. Each rasp is carefully shaped to enhance acoustic quality and aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for musicians.

One of our standout pieces is the Gourd Guiro, a multifaceted instrument that doubles as a shaker rattle. Carved from natural gourds, these guiros are versatile providing percussive depth and rhythmic variation in one instrument.

Historically, the guiro finds echoes in ancient cultures such as the Aztecs, who crafted similar instruments known as omitzicahuastli. Despite their tongue-twisting name, these instruments were integral to Aztec music and were played with the same rhythmic technique that defines the guiro today.

Our guiro collection offers something extraordinary. Each instrument invites you to discover percussion music from around the globe.
