I was inspired by East-African circular rattles from Kenya and Tanzania, and with a professional upgrade in materials and sound quality, these round sistrum-style rattles produce an astonishing clarity of rattle with a great deal of control. They can be played single handed, or with both hands like a Brazilian Chocalho!
These are about 8 inches in diameter. The standard version features 18 pairs of 1.5 inch stainless steel jingles (popular on featherweight tambourine styles) going in one direction, and 26 Brass Gunghroo bells going the other direction. It is constructed on a layered wire hoop. You can pick which direction to shake the sistrum in and choose which of these 2 very different sounds to perform (OR play at a 45° angle and get both going)!
The rings are tightly wrapped with hand-cut goat rawhide lace, which is also used to bind the intersections on the wires bearing all the jingles.
Entirely hand-made here in Chicago!
And as always: I LOVE custom work, so if you got n inspiration, I got art supplies and perspiration!
