It's some kind of wood percussion instrument (perhaps a frog), with a lot of pitch correction, speed increase, and other pieces of audio engineering

Also, there's many videos on how people for movies will get sound effects, very interesting to watch:

A Guiro is pretty cool.

And how can you argue with this review?

I'm an audio engineer and i love recording instruments

So literally ANY musical instrument that carry's a tune or a unique sound is always my favorite gift, I just hook my mic up and work some magic in my DAW


It doesnt even have to be expensive either - A little 10$ thumb piano was one of the favorite gifts I've ever gotten, I could unscrew the thing holding the keys down and tune it to any scale or pattern i wanted. So even if it came out of tune i could tune it

I totally hope one day someone gets me one of these It would make me so happy.

I honestly dont think i could get tired of getting musical instruments as gifts, But i dont think i want to test that theory haha.

Just, as a left handed player, dont get me a guitar. The first thing I'll end up asking is "The place you bought that from offers returns... right?"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I think this guiro would be a big help with my band, seeing how I want to get something for our drummer to use at acoustic gigs. You're a beautiful person. Have a nice day.

We use a metal guira in my steel drum ensemble at CSULB. I bought it on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/DLuca-Professional-Large-Stainless-Steel-Guiro/dp/B00DR0C88W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1413442016&sr=8-3&keywords=Guira.

The scrapper sucked. It fell apart after the first gig. We use the LP scratcher and it has worked fine.

It's a percussion instrument/toy that's missing the wooden "scraper" you can drag along its back to make a croaking sound.

They're commonly sold to tourists in Central/South America, Southeast Asia and probably elsewhere, and also for music classes in school.
