Puerto Rican <i>Guiro</i>
notes: label: Description
content: This musical instrument from Puerto Rico, known as a <i>guiro</i>, was made from a hollow gourd with carved ridges along the side. It was played by running a drumstick or metal tined fork, called a scrapper, across the ridges which creates a grating sound used to create rhythms in many types of Caribbean music. The instrument kept the rhythm for the entire band to follow.
