Description
The Luis Conte Double Live Shaker from Meinl offers musicians and percussionists a masterfully designed instrument for subtle or energetic rhythmic expression. Developed in collaboration with acclaimed percussionist Luis Conte, the medium-volume Live model sits at the heart of a shaker trio that also includes soft and loud variants. With its fused dual chambers and ergonomic shape, the Live shaker delivers a balanced, silky tone that's as versatile as it is controllable.
Designed by a Master for Versatile, Nuanced Sound
As an in-demand session and touring percussionist, Luis Conte requires gear that can adapt to any musical scenario. The Live shaker meets his exacting standards for tone, feel and durability through a design focused on balanced, controllable sound. Its dual chambers are fused into a single unit, each filled to provide complementary tones that blend into a smooth, rich whole. With a grip at its center, the Live shaker responds intuitively for crafting subtle or complex rhythms.
Medium Volume Fits Most Applications
With a volume range of 79 to 81dB, the Live shaker carries well without overpowering. Its tone complements a variety of instruments, from acoustic guitar to drum kit. Whether tracking in the studio, performing an intimate gig or energizing an audience of thousands, the Live shaker delivers ideal volume and a professional quality of sound.
All-Weather Shell Means Lasting Quality
While some prefer wood or metal, Luis Conte and Meinl selected a durable synthetic material for the Live shaker's shell. Impervious to weather and humidity, it protects the shaker's tonal core through heavy use and travel. You can rely on the Live shaker to provide consistent, high-quality sound for years to come.
Ergonomics Enable Expressive Performance
The Live shaker's tapered shape fits comfortably in hand, with contours that enable a solid grip for dynamic playing. Its balanced weight and smooth finish allow for subtle manipulations of tone, from a gentle pulse to an energetic shake. With a shape made for confident handling, the Live shaker makes expressive performance feel effortless.
