This hand-carved, varnished wooden frog percussion instrument (Guiro) is a unique and traditional musical tool originating from Thailand, at 11cm long and weighing 150gm, this Guiro is perfect for creating authentic sounds and rhythms. The intricate design and craftsmanship of the wood frog make it a standout piece for musicians and collectors alike, adding a touch of cultural flair to any music-making session. Wooden frog percussion instruments, often called frog guiros or rasp blocks, are traditional Thai instruments that produce a realistic "ribbit" sound. By scraping the included wooden stick along the ridges on the frog's back, you create a croaking sound; tapping the head or body produces a distinct "pock" or woodblock tone.
