This is a two piece model that works like the Mexican Wood Güiro. The wooden stick is included inside and will snap off after printing. It sounds quite good. It also kinda looks like a shark too. Design The güiro, which was adapted from a pre-Columbian instrument, is a notched, hollowed-out gourd. The güiro is made by carving parallel circular stripes along the shorter section of the elongated gourd.It is played by holding the güiro in the left hand with the thumb inserted into the back sound hole to keep the instrument in place. PLEASE SCALE MODEL AS IT IS IN INCHES (scale 2540% or 25.4)
