MEINL Percussion Wooden Frog – Large

MEINL Percussion Wooden Frog (Large) – FROG-L
Bring the rich, resonant voice of nature into your music, storytelling, or educational environments with the Meinl Percussion Large Wooden Frog (FROG-L). Crafted from high-quality solid wood, this traditional, animal-shaped effects percussion instrument functions as a clever 2-in-1 tool—combining a rhythmic guiro and a classic woodblock into a single, highly engaging design.
Perfect for professional percussionists, sound designers, school educators, and children alike, this large-sized model provides a deeper, fuller, and more robust acoustic tone that effortlessly commands attention in any room.
Dual Acoustic Functionality (Guiro & Woodblock)
• Authentic ‘Ribbit’ Effect (Guiro Mode): By holding the frog in your palm and scratching the included wooden scraper upward along the ridges on the frog’s back, you instantly generate a remarkably realistic, deep croaking sound.
• Warm Woodblock Tone (Woodblock Mode): Tapping or beating directly on the frog’s front or mouth area produces a crisp, clear, and hollow woodblock acoustic accent with exceptional natural projection.
Key Features
• Premium Solid Wood Craftsmanship: Forged from rugged, highly resonant hardwood and finished in a classic brown tone that beautifully emphasizes the organic wood grain.
• Deeper Large-Scale Resonance: The expanded physical size gives this frog a significantly lower pitch and greater volume compared to smaller variants, making it ideal for live performances or group settings.
• Smart Scraper Storage: Features a convenient hollow channel running straight through the lower body. This allows you to slide and store the wooden mallet safely inside the frog when not in use so it never gets misplaced.
• Fun and Universal Appeal: Serving as both an authentic ethnic sound effect and a fun toy for children and adults, it is highly approachable and requires absolutely no musical background to play.
