The Meinl Sonic Energy Pala Seed Shaker is equipped with hollow seed shells that create a soothing sound warm projection when you shake them. Its sound is reminiscent of a flowing stream of water or a rainstick. For meditation and sound immersion, our Natural Pala Seed Shaker creates an immersive sonic effect that promotes relaxation so you can easily enter a meditative space by clearing your mind. The shaker is also a perfect instrument for sound baths. To play, you can use the large loop as a handle or put it around your wrist while your shake the seed shells—this loop/wrist strap can be used to hang the shakers as well. The small size Pala Seed Shakers measure 11" and weigh about 3.5 ounces. Its smaller size gives you a more controlled sound.
