Good for basic rythmn, but you’ll never hear these in a live setting, unless you mike them. Be like Mick Jaggar and get the really big gord models or better yet, some plastic or rawhide model, or a cylindrical shaker, you can at least hear them in the live setting.

Durable with a good sound. Best priced shakers I’ve found for use in early childhood music classes.

I purchased 2 sets of these eggs for me and my kids (ages 1 and 7), and they sound great and they’re a nice size. Unfortunately, my one child was trying to juggle with them and 2 of them split open (thankfully they had just cracked open slightly so only a few beads got out, not all of them), but they did start to leak. I know they’re not meant for juggling, but I just want to make sure you know that if you do drop them (and it probably only happened a dozen times or so), they may break open and then tiny beads will scatter everywhere. Just shake them and use them only as intended and you’ll be fine!
