I remember my sister telling me about this instrument when we were kids. I thought to myself at that time, I'm getting one of those! Jump forward half a century, and I finally got one. It is fantastic. I am so pleased with this purchase. Came very well-packed. Highly recommend. Beware: attracts attention. :)
First time purchase and won't be the last. The instrument I purchased (Quijada-jaw bone) was perfectly wrapped and packaged for delivery. I love it! Thank you!
I just purchased two instruments for the Wichita Symphony We using them for Lopez's Peru Negro. Within a week both of them lost teeth and the bone when you strike it to rattle the teeth cracked creating a hole in the center of the bone. I realize that they are fragile but not to this extent.
Arrived on time in perfect condition. I'm using for my arrangement of Marie Lavaux for orchestra. The singer will be playing the Quijada. It will be a spectacular visual and audio addition to the ensemble.
Item arrived on time and was packaged well. Makes a great sound and is an unique addition to a percussionist's tools
Item was in stock at a competitive price. Shipping was quick (during holiday rush) Items came well packaged and arrived in excellent condition.
Packaging was very secure which was my main concern. Once I notified Steve Weiss that I was interested in the product, it was about two weeks later when they had it back in stock. Great sound from this beautiful instrument.
The company who distributes them says they are committed to supporting low income craftsmen. I was worried having seen a few that were twice as expensive that it would be inferior in quality. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this brands they are exactly what you want. So fun.
I had been looking for a while before coming across your piece. What a wonderful instrument. Jaw is healthy and clean, teeth sound great. Shipping was super fast. Thank you so much!!!
Chido! Was on tour and found out about this place. Do you know how hard these are to find!? I play traditional folkloric music from Mexico and even there they are hard to find since they've become somewhat a fashionable instrument if you can believe that. All of these come from Peru.. Notice the 2 teeth separated from the rest. They indicate that it's an older donkey. The Peruvians really know how to make these. Thanks Steve Weiss Music!!
