Product Overview
Multiple African goat toes are sewn into a length of fabric for the Afro-Cuban and Latin percussion favorite, the Uas. Meant to be worn as a bracelet or anklet, or held in the hand as a shaker. When shook the goat toes make a very soft, rattle sound. This instrument is also known as Unas (Spanish for "toenails"), and Chajchas in South America. Covered by our warranty, this goat toe Uas rattle bracelet features: * 12-20 clean, dry goat toe nails attached to colored fabric base * Handcrafted using natural materials in Ghana * As a handmade product exact appearance may vary from photos *Rattles with smaller quantities of goat toes may not produce a volume of shaking sound loud enough to hear with other music playing. So it is best to assume these bracelet rattles are primarily for aesthetic use, as a costume accessory, and not as a proper musical instrument. (World Percussion USA is the ONLY authorized seller of Africa Heartwood Project instruments on this marketplace. All other sellers claiming above to also sell this item as described are not honest sellers, so proceed with caution.)
