Finger Shaker

Add a percussion beat to your guitar or ukulele playing while strumming!

 

You will need:

- Elastic (I used a 12mm fabric elastic)
- Something to put in the shaker (try rice, small screws/washers/nuts, ??)

 

1. Feed the elastic through the inside of the shaker, tie it in a knot so it is just tight and cut off the ends.  

2. Align the elastic so it is flat, facing the finger area, in the cutout and the knot inside

3. Screw on one end cap tightly

4. Fill with a small amount of something to shake - try different amounts and materials to get a sound you like!

5. Screw on the other end cap tightly

Attach to your finger and shake, shake, shake!  It should work with your normal strumming of a guitar/ukulele.

I printed this with support (just for the gap at the bottom of the body/tube where it touches the build plate.  I used a brim but you may not need it depending on your bed adhesion for the tube/body
