While these are semi pro quality, I did check out some characteristics based on the aforementioned video. Apparently pro quality maracas have a higher and lower pitch in each maraca from a pair. I have fairly good ears and each maraca in this pair has the same pitch, so I am guessing that they are mass produced with little or no variation. If you are an experienced player who is looking for pro level maracas these may not be for you.
Overall construction is excellent, although I would be concerned about the plastic 'gourd' cracking if dropped on a hard surface.
The handles are comfortable, and lend themselves to holding the maracas properly (per the video I mentioned.) Overall length is about 10 3/8 inches, of which 4 7/8 inches are the wood handles. The 'gourd' diameter at the widest point is about 4 inches in diameter.
For actual performances for semi-pro or amateur musicians this pair will work well in my opinion. I will close by saying that learning to play these both authentically and competently is not a trivial task.
Great product. I keep one in the car to play along with KUMBIAS 🔊🔊
They're super loud for home use. Just not my cup of tea.
I have other instruments, just the ones you can use in parties for fun and they don't quite jam well when these maraca are much more louder. Keep it in mind.
Other than that, these maracas are awesome. Super easy to hold and the shells are very sturdy, almost impossible to break them even if you try. Buy them if you plan to go to outdoor/loud concerts.
