Latin Percussion LP442F Finger Shot Shaker

LP has been manufacturing classic percussion instruments for more than half a century, patenting countless improvements and designs that meet the high standards of professional musicians. It's not for nothing that Latin Percussion instruments can be found on thousands of world-famous top hits and recordings from salsa to rock. The product range extends from congas, bongos and cowbells to timbales, cajons, shakers and effect percussion. It's almost impossible to turn on the radio or play a playlist without hearing an LP instrument. The company's history begins in 1956 with Martin Cohen, a young engineer from the Bronx who discovered his love for Latin American music in New York's jazz clubs. He is so captivated by the sound and energy that he soon decides to buy his own bongos, but fails due to trade embargoes that made it impossible to import high-quality bongos from Cuba at the time. Martin Cohen used his technical know-how and built his first bongo set. A little later - in 1964 he founded Latin Percussion (LP) and began delivering bongos and cowbells wrapped in brown paper to musicians in the clubs. This close connection and first-hand exchange of experiences with the artists of the Latin music scene contribute significantly to the brand's success story and are still an integral part of the company philosophy today - the demands of the musicians come first. Professional and amateur musicians around the world today value Latin Percussion instruments as the best percussion instruments in the world.
