FAQs
Are these maracas sold as a pair?
The SHAMTAM DMI-10 is listed as a single instrument unit.
Can children use this instrument?
Yes, it is easy to handle, though it should be treated with care to preserve the artisanal finish.
Why does my maraca look different from the one in the photo?
Because each piece is hand-crafted, the natural variations in the materials mean no two rattles are exactly alike.
What is the primary material used?
The rattle is constructed using traditional materials selected by Balinese artisans for their acoustic properties and durability.
How should I store the instrument?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from drying out or warping.
Troubleshooting
Sound output feels dampened or muted
Ensure the rattle is being shaken with a sharp, crisp motion from the wrist rather than the arm to allow the internal beads to strike the shell effectively.
Surface looks dusty or dull
Use a microfiber cloth to lightly buff the exterior surface to restore the natural luster of the wood and finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Maracas Rattle; it is ready to play immediately out of the box. To maintain the instrument, keep it away from extreme humidity or direct sunlight, which can affect the natural materials used by the artisans. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to gently wipe the exterior. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the finish or damage the artisanal materials.
