A Pachica is a rhythm instrument similar to a maraca and castanets combined. In addition to keeping rhythm, you can also play with acrobatic techniques by spinning it around, throwing it in the air and catching it. 【Difference between Pachica and Asalato】 The main difference is the sound. Asalato uses the shells of nuts for the body, while Pachica uses plastic. Therefore, Asalato has a sound that emphasizes mid-range tones. On the other hand, Pachica emphasizes high-pitched tones. If you prefer a rounded sound, Asalato is recommended, and if you prefer a sharp, crisp sound, Pachica is recommended. Pachica has the advantage of being less likely to be drowned out by the sounds of other instruments because it emphasizes high-pitched tones. There is almost no difference in ease of playing. Pachica feels slightly easier to grip. 【Product Details】 Set of 2. Brand new, unused. Diameter of the ball: 5 cm Weight: Approximately 30g Distance between the ball and the string: 10 cm - 13 cm
