Our Fiber Guiro is strong and resilient compared to organic gourd designs.  Our new Metal Guiro provides a unique metallic sound and is perfect for Merengue rhythms.  The PNG-20 Natural Gourd Guiro features two scraping surfaces: thin grooves on one side for a lighter sound, and thicker-cut channels on the other side for a beefier sound.  The interior is coated with a fiberglass gel coat to add projection and volume to cut through the loudest Salsa bands.  A rubber protective ring at the mouth adds strength and integrity to the shell.  Strength, projection, and two different tones – the PNG-20 may be the last guiro you will ever need to purchase.
