Sela SE 285 2-Tone Claves 25 Acacia

Warm, Full Sound!

The sticks of the Sela 2-Tone Claves come in different lengths (215 and 200 millimeters), setting them apart from conventional pairs of tone woods that are usually the same length. Depending on which 2-Tone Clave stick you hold and strike, you can produce two distinct fundamental tones and vary the pitch of the rhythms played. The Sela 2-Tone Claves are made in Germany from high-quality acacia wood, which sounds warm and bright and delivers a strong, clearly defined attack tone.

Claves are primarily used as rhythm instruments in Latin American culture, giving music styles like rumba, salsa, or bossa nova their characteristic groove ("clave"). They form the rhythmic backbone that all other instruments follow. But claves also appear repeatedly in Western pop and rock music. Thus, the Sela 2-Tone Claves fit best in a Latin ensemble but naturally enrich any other musical style with their unmistakable sound. Additionally, they impress with their matte lacquer finish and premium craftsmanship.
