Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Stringed seed shaker

This stringed seed shaker features a simple design with a full-bodied shaker tone. Dried out seed husks are attached to a thick twine loop to form the shaker. This can be held and shaken or put through the wrist to free up your hands to play other instruments.

The hollow seed husks produce a rich, crunchy sound when shaken. Vary the way you hold the shaker to achieve different tones, or mute with your second hand for even more tone variations.

This stringed seed shaker is sourced using Fair trade principles. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of musical instruments from Percussion Plus.

These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision.

Recycled materials

Did you know, the seed husks used to make these shakers are left over from traditional Indonesian cuisine. What would have been a waste product has been repurposed and upcycled into these wonderful shakers.

Our sustainable packaging

A key principle of Honestly Made is sustainability, and we’ve modified our packaging of these items accordingly by adopting fully recyclable and biodegradable glassine paper bags.

Naturally, we don’t want to waste our pre-existing packaging material, meaning you might still receive some of these products in classic, non-glassine packaging. If so, rest assured that your order has contributed to our collective waste management mission.

Percussion Plus Honestly Made products are manufactured in independent family workshops that are too small to join Fair Trade groups or are located in countries that do not have such organisations. These suppliers and their subsidiaries all follow Fair trade principles which include:

Agreeing a fair price Use of recycled materials
Paying significant amounts upfront
Being loyal and reasonable in all dealings
Prioritising smaller suppliers over large factories
Manufacturing methods that do not damage the environment
