"The size is perfect for toddlers and the quality really stands out—definitely worth every penny."

"I loved the sound quality, though it was a bit smaller than I expected. After a few uses, the comb needed to be replaced, but overall, it works well."

"I was surprised by how large and well-crafted this frog instrument is—it filled up my hand and felt solid. The sound is impressively loud and the stick glides smoothly, making it a fun and sturdy musical gift."

"This piece looks adorable and the sound quality is fantastic—it actually feels like a real instrument, not just a toy. The volume is much louder than I'd expected."

"This guiro was the highlight of our New Year's party—everyone wanted to play it! The quality and weight are spot on, and the fun double function as a shaker surprised us. It's perfect for music lovers and parties, and I absolutely recommend it for a lively night."

"I gave this guiro to my favorite musician, and she was thrilled! The sound is impressively loud and projects well, and it's very sturdy for the price. If you need maximum volume for performances, this is the one. Just know the sound is pretty metallic, so look for wood if you want something softer."

"I liked that the guiro is lightweight and a good size. The sound is a bit tinny, but if you hold it differently, it can mellow out. Great for beginners starting out!"

"I was impressed by the craftsmanship and the beautiful color, and the sound it produces is amazing. However, it's on the smaller side, so I'd recommend a larger size for serious playing."

"I bought this for my daughter’s birthday and she absolutely loves it. It’s nicely made and a lot of fun, but I’m considering getting a bigger one next time."

"I love how the instrument sounds just right, and I appreciate that it comes with two sticks. Personally, I find the white stick works best for me."

"I used this at a party with friends and it sounded fantastic—everyone enjoyed it!"

"Back in 2006, a friend lent me his guiro for a recording. After waiting 19 years, I finally bought my own and I’m absolutely thrilled with it. Thanks, Amazon!"

"I was impressed by the beautiful craftsmanship and lovely tone of these percussion frogs. The packaging was delightful, and I was pleasantly surprised by the extra owl whistle included. They look fantastic on display and sound even better."

"These musical frogs are sturdily made and super fun to play—even my kids can use them easily. I love that each one produces a distinct, soothing croak, and they’re just as cute sitting on a shelf as they are in a jam session. I recommend them to anyone looking for a playful and unique instrument."

"I added these frogs to my percussion collection and I’m thrilled with their adorable appearance and good sound quality. The larger frog has a deeper tone, and the set even came with a charming carved owl whistle. Great value for a hand-crafted set."

"I bought these for my 'Music and Movement' class and I appreciate that each student can have their own instrument. They're smaller than expected but still fit our needs and seem durable enough for regular use."

"I’m new to playing the guiro, but this instrument is extremely easy to handle. The sound quality is impressive, and I feel like a pro whenever I use it!"

"I was impressed by how strong and sturdy this comb pick is. I had some doubts about the quality, but after using it for our church guiro, I'm confident it will last. It’s a solid replacement for the old one, and I think the player at church will be very happy with it."

"With this tool, my instrument from Colombia truly came alive—hearing the sound instantly brought back memories of home. It was exactly what I needed to complete my setup."

"I find this design gives me better wrist control and lets me play longer since it’s much less tiring than the open comb style. It’s comfortable and the weight feels just right."

"I love that this guiro offers a wide range of sounds with its different washboard pitches and two included sticks. The larger size feels substantial, and the solid blue color looks fantastic. For anyone wanting versatile guiro tones, this one, paired with a metal version, covers all the bases."

"As a music teacher, I’m impressed by how resonant and sturdy these guiros are for my upper elementary classes. The option to choose from different colors was a hit, and the instrument shipped quickly with two scrapers. The sound quality works perfectly for concerts, though the finger hole design could be slightly better. Still, the kids held them easily, and it didn’t affect the sound."

"I purchased this as a gift and couldn’t resist giving it a try first. It sounds great and made for a fun rhythm session right out of the box."
