| Mate Gourd Guiro Musical Instrument (Peru) | $25.19 |
The versatile and beautiful gourd guiro or huiro is actually three-in-one.
It can be used as a percussion instrument when rubbing the carved grooves on the side of the gourd, producing a washboard-like sound. Turn the Huiro upside down for a rain-like sound; or it can be shaken to produce a maraca (rattle) like sound.
Handmade by Peruvian artisans from the Sierra region, the guiro is crafted from mate gourds engraved by two different size chisels and gouges. This guiro has various designs of intricately carved designs in traditional settings and measures approximately 16 inches long. Each guiro or huiro is unique as the individual piece of fruit it was handcrafted from.
The gourds used to make these unique instruments were originally used as ornate water vessels for ceremonial offerings to the Incas.
