<p>There is provided a shaker instrument (1) having a single, contiguous body (10) with a sounding chamber (24) that is in communication with an elongated hollow neck or handle (26). The hollow handle (26) has an opening (28) or aperture through which a fill material (40) may be introduced to, or removed from, the sounding chamber. The fill material is restricted to the sounding chamber by a plug or insert (30) that is placed through the opening and extends into the elongated hollow neck. In addition, there is provided a method of making such a shaker instrument. The method is simplified compared to prior art methods and eliminates any relatively weak and possibly unsafe seams on the instrument.</p> |
