Inside, steel ball bearings deliver the familiar crisp rattling that maracas are known for. Swirl and shake the Fiber Maracas to add rhythmic flair to any musical performance.

Fiberglass Shells Provide Durable Protection

The round fiberglass shells of the Fiber Maracas encase the steel ball fill to create a protective barrier without inhibiting sound. Fiberglass is highly impact-resistant to prevent dents and scratches even when the maracas are dropped or tossed, enabling carefree play. The material is also weather-resistant, allowing the Fiber Maracas to be used outdoors without damage. The smooth, plastic shells are easy to grip and maneuver, enabling quick rotations and dramatic shakes for an dynamic effect.

Wooden Handles Deliver Familiar Feel

LP outfitted the Fiber Maracas with wooden handles for an authentic feel and lightweight, comfortable grip. The handles provide a natural friction and warmth that synthesic materials cannot replicate. Wood is also highly resonant, subtly enhancing the rattling of the steel ball bearings within. The handles are securely attached to the fiberglass shells to produce a well-balanced instrument that feels natural in the hands.

Steel Ball Bearings Produce Distinctive Sound

The Fiber Maracas are filled with steel ball bearings that collide and roll against each other inside the shells to create their signature rattling sound. Steel produces a bright, crisp tone that cuts through ambient noise to be clearly heard. The loose ball bearings enable a range of sounds from soft shaking to loud, vigorous play. Steel ball bearings are also highly durable and resistant to damage or corrosion, producing consistent sound quality even after years of use.

Highly Portable and Travel-Ready

Weighing just 1 lb, the Fiber Maracas are extremely lightweight and portable. Their durable construction enables them to withstand the rigors of transport without damage. The Fiber Maracas include a protective storage bag for convenient carrying and safekeeping between uses. Their compact size allows them to fit easily into instrument cases, gig bags and trunks for simple transport to performances, rehearsals and jam sessions.
