Latin Percussion CP249A Fish Style Wooden Guiro

The Latin Percussion CP249A Fish Style Guiro is a wooden percussion instrument shaped like a fish, continuing a long tradition of animal-themed guiro designs found across Latin American music. The ridged surface produces the instrument's signature raspy, rhythmic scraping sound when stroked with a stick or scraper. Built from wood, it offers a warmer, more organic tone compared to plastic or fiberglass alternatives, making it well-suited for acoustic performances, studio recordings, and music education settings.

Manufactured under the Latin Percussion brand — one of the most recognized names in hand percussion — the CP249A is positioned as an accessible entry in their CP (Cosmic Percussion) line. Its compact size and lightweight build make it easy to hold and play for extended sessions, and the fish shape provides a natural grip point. Whether you are adding texture to a salsa ensemble, layering rhythmic elements in a recording session, or introducing students to Latin percussion, the CP249A delivers a genuine guiro sound in a playful, functional form.
