Hollowed-out Pangi nuts produce a deep, earthy tone.
The Pearl Pangi nut shaker is made from the seeds inside the football fruit of the Pangium tree, native to mangrove swamps in Southeast Asia. The 9” bamboo handle is connected to 22 individually-strung Pangi nuts, each of which is about the size of a walnut and hollowed out to make the shaker. The larger nuts create a deeper, earthy tone while the bamboo handle offers the player more control.
