I decided to buy one after hearing and trying one out at a jam session. I'm not a professional percussionist but enjoy playing a cajon and other percussion instruments to help set a beat during sessions. This instrument was within my price range and after a little research I bought it based on reviews. It adds variety to my sessions. There is a slight learning curve and a little practice to achieve a consistent smooth sound but within a few days I got the hang of simple repetitive sounds. The cabasa I tried at the jam session was slightly larger, 40 years old, did produce a better sound, but cost the owner way more than the current $29 price of this one. I think this one could be better with looser bead strings but there is no easy way to adjust them. I think with looser beads it would be easier to accomplish certain movements to produce different sounds. I know the beads won't loosen with age and use but maybe as I get used to playing it I can become better at replicating the moves I saw on YouTube instructional videos. I still believe it to be worth 5 stars as the quality and sound work for the purpose I bought it for. If I was a professional and using this in recordings or stage performances I would probably spend a lot more and try out various instruments before purchasing. If this is your first introduction to this type of instrument, as it was for me, I don't think you'll be disappointed choosing this one.
