The Double Televi Shaker is a traditional African percussion instrument crafted from two Televi nuts filled with seeds and attached to a wooden stick handle. When shaken, it produces clear, crisp rhythmic sounds that are ideal for musical accompaniment and adding texture to performances. The Televi nuts are indigenous to Africa, and each shaker has a natural rustic finish that reflects its handmade character. Handmade, fair trade, eco-friendly, and fun, this instrument is perfect for musicians, percussionists, and collectors looking for an authentic traditional sound.
