ClaveLP® African Wood Clave
LP African Exotic-Hardwood Clave LP212R List Price: $38.00 Sale Price: $37 includes tax & shipping in continental U.S.
LP® African Wood Clave DetailsLP African Clave follows African tradition with a larger clave (12" L x 1 3/4" W) and smaller striker (10" L x 1" W), as well as a cut-away sound chamber. The cut-away design on this clave features a hollowed center for broader, more open tones. Though larger in size than the LP Standard Clave, it features the same kiln dried exotic hardwood and produces deep, rich tones with projection. Clave BasicsThe Clave (pronounced clah' vay) is the traditional Afro-Cuban instrument used to play the clave rhythm.Claves create a sharp, cracking sound that pierces through every other sound on stage. Names of the Two Clave Sticks: The stick that is stuck is called the clave; the stick that strikes is the striker. Clave is the rhythmic pattern that forms the basis of Latin music. Clave is phrased in what is known as a 3-2 or 2-3 feel (three notes in the first four beats & then two notes in the second for beats or vice versa). Holding the Clave
The clave is held by the fingertips and thumb (see picture). It can rest slightly on heel of hand, but should not rest on the palm. There should be about an inch of space between the clave and the palm of the hand. This space creates a sound chamber, which allows the clave to best vibrate & project its sound. The striker is held by one hand and is struck against the clave, which is held by the other. The 3-2 Son Clave Rhythm3-2 Son Clave in Music Notion Form
