The Percussive seashells concha are a unique musical instrument with origins on the Atlantic coast of Spain. These small shells have been traditionally used in Galicia and by many Celtic groups on the Atlantic coast as a percussion instrument. With delicately covered rows of scales, our selected firm and finely ribbed shells can create incredible effects when rubbed together, gently tapped, or lightly hit. The pronounced curvature allows for a resonance chamber when held in the palm of your hand, producing unexpected volume and high assertiveness. From delicate rustling sounds to large güiro sounds, the Percussive seashells concha offer many playing options. Measuring 10cm, these shells are perfect for adding a touch of the coast to your music.
