Why This Guitar
Crafted with a high-strength plastic shell, a comfortable wood handle, and tough nylon cord, the LP480 is built to withstand the rigors of regular performance. This modern construction offers a reliable and long-lasting alternative to fragile traditional instruments without sacrificing authentic feel.
The steel bead chain wrapped around the textured cylinder produces a bright, lively sound with a wide dynamic range. It's perfect for creating crisp, rhythmic scraping and shaking patterns that are essential for Latin and world music genres, cutting through any mix.
Designed to replicate the shape and playing feel of classic cabasas, the LP480 allows percussionists to use traditional techniques with confidence. Enjoy the authentic response and familiar handling without the fragility associated with older coconut and seed designs.

It produces a metallic, rattling, and scraping sound. This is achieved by twisting the handle or rubbing the bead chain against the palm of your hand to create distinct rhythmic patterns.
The LP480 Traditional Cabasa features a high-strength plastic shell, a solid wooden handle, and a steel bead chain strung with tough nylon cord for enhanced durability and consistent sound.
The cabasa is a staple in Latin music like salsa and bossa nova, but its versatile sound is also widely used in jazz, pop, rock, and as a unique textural effect in studio recordings.
This instrument does not require tuning. To maintain it, simply wipe it down with a dry cloth after use and store it in a safe place to protect the bead chain.
