The Meinl Turbo Cabasa is a new innovation, with significantly more volume than normal cabasas. This comes from the eight sound ports in the resonating chamber (four on each end). The Turbo Cabasa brings the classic cabasa sound to a new level that will cut through any sonic environment. Features include a steel chain, stainless steel cylinder, wooden handle with padded soft grip, and 4 sound ports on each side for more volume.
