The LP243 Super Guiro is a 13-1/2-inch guiro moulded from high-strength plastic that keeps the shape, feel and sound of a natural gourd guiro without its fragility. It comes with two scrapers.

What sets it apart
  • Same sound and shape as a natural gourd
  • Evenly spaced grooves for a consistent sound
  • Rubber-lined finger holes
  • Two scrapers: plastic and wood

Two scrapers, two personalities

The plastic scraper gives a bright, loud sound that cuts over horns. The wooden one gives a warmer, drier sound, better suited to a bolero or a recording. Switching scrapers changes the voice without changing the guiro.

Precision moulding keeps the grooves perfectly even from end to end. The finger holes, placed for comfort and lined with rubber, give you grip and control, and LP describes the whole thing as virtually indestructible.
