Maracas

These are RhythmTech plastic fiber maracas, specially selected by Handbell Services, and come as a pair.

They work particularly well with handbells because they have a "light" maracas sound that blends with a set of bells, rather than with a heavy overpowering sound that many larger metal and gourd maracas have.

They are easy to play, and pretty much unbreakable (even in youth choir terms).
