About this item
- HAND-MADE IN USA IN OUR SHOP & BUILT TO LAST: Hand-made in Georgia by the founder of Kopf Percussion with the finest Cherry Tone wood. Handrubbed with our own Bee's Wax and Oil finish.
- PRODUCES RICH TONES. The best choice in Cherry lumber coupled with our own Wax/Oil finish produce a fine instrument with amazing tonal qualities
- VERY COMFORTABLE TO HOLD. Each clave measures 8" x 1" and has a very smooth finish.
My Traditional Cherry Paired Claves are genuinely handcrafted from Cherry stock that has been carefully selected to be beautiful aesthetically, tonally appealing, and durable. After the Cherry stock is turned to a 1" diameter, it is then trimmed down to a length of 8". After the Kopf logo is burned into the clave, rather than putting a "sound sucking" hard finish on , I apply a hand rubbed finish of my own blend of Boiled Linseed oil, Pure Turpentine, and Natural Beeswax. Lastly, I hand buff with a lint free rag to attain a silky smooth satin finish. These claves sound great and will cut through just about any musical situation. They feel great in the hand and will last a lifetime.
Professional Claves Handcrafted from Cherry by Stephen Head
It's All About Great Tone
For an instrument to sound great, it has to be made from a material that has great tone. These Claves are handcrafted from beautiful Cherry Tone Wood. Precision turned and meticulously finished with Stephen's Secret Oil/Beeswax wood finish recipe, these claves will not disappoint.
Beautiful Tone That Cuts Through
Each Kopf Percussion Professional Cherry Claves is first crafted from hand selected pieces of Cherry Stock and then put through another "Tone" check after it is built. This insures that each instrument has amazing tone. Also, the Oil/Beeswax finish protects the wood without dampening the tone so that it will cut through sonically.
Absolute Perfection
The Kopf logo is laser engraved on the clave rather than the industry usual screen-printing. This is to avoid the extra ink (even though minimal) that may dampen the tone.
