The Nino Wood Guiro with Scraper delivers a traditional Latin American percussion sound with a genuinely handcrafted feel. The hollowed-out body and ridged playing surface create that unmistakable rhythmic, rattling tone when swept with the included wooden scraper — the sound at the heart of salsa, son, rumba, and other Afro-Latin styles.

Nino builds the guiro from responsibly sourced Siam oak that's been cured and treated to bring out its tonal qualities and keep it stable across different environments. Varied textures across the surface mean the instrument responds differently depending on where you scrape or strike it, so you have more than one voice on tap.

Easy to hold and light in the hand, it's appropriate for children ages 5 and older while still earning a spot in a serious percussion rig or recording studio. The natural wood elements give it a rustic, organic look, and the included scraper is crafted from the same durable, responsibly sourced wood for a consistent playing experience.

  • Traditional Latin American güiro with classic scraping sound

Authentic Afro-Latin Groove

The hollow body and ridged surface deliver the classic rattling güiro sound heard in salsa, son, rumba, and Caribbean music. It's an instant rhythmic texture for live sets or studio tracks.

Great For Young Players

Light, easy to hold, and simple to play, the guiro is appropriate for children ages 5 and older. That makes it an easy fit for classrooms and family jams as well as working percussionists.

More Than One Sound

Varied surface textures mean the instrument responds differently depending on where you scrape or strike. You get a range of tones from a single, simple instrument.

Siam Oak Construction

The body is made from Siam oak that's been carefully cured and treated to highlight its tonal qualities and stay stable in a range of environments.

Hollowed-Out Body

The hollow chamber gives the guiro a dense, resonant voice with plenty of sustain and character.

Ridged Playing Surface

Rough-hewn ridges across the body are designed specifically for rhythmic scraping techniques.

Varied Surface Textures

Different areas of the guiro produce different sounds depending on where you strike or scrape.

Wooden Scraper Included

The included scraper is crafted from durable, responsibly sourced wood for an authentic feel and consistent tone.

Responsibly Sourced Wood

Nino uses eco-friendly, responsibly sourced wood for both the guiro body and the scraper.
