MEINL Percussion Wooden Frog – Medium

MEINL Percussion Wooden Frog (Medium) – FROG-M
Add a charming, whimsical, and highly authentic layer of nature to your acoustic arrangements, classrooms, or sound effects collection with the Meinl Percussion Medium Wooden Frog (FROG-M). This traditional, animal-shaped instrument is carved from high-quality solid wood, providing a beautifully warm and resonant tone.
Designed as a clever 2-in-1 percussion tool, it functions simultaneously as a rhythmic guiro and a classic woodblock. This makes it an engaging and intuitive instrument for professional percussionists, educators, storytellers, and children alike.
Dual Acoustic Personalities (Guiro & Woodblock)
• Authentic ‘Ribbit’ Sound (Guiro Mode): By holding the frog in your palm and scratching the included wooden scraper across the carved ridges on the frog’s back, you instantly generate a realistic croaking frog sound.
• Warm, Woody Tone (Woodblock Mode): Tapping or beating directly on the front or the mouth section of the frog produces a crisp, clear, and hollow woodblock acoustic accent.
• Natural Muffle Effect: Practitioners can easily manipulate the pitch and decay on the fly by plugging or releasing the frog’s hollow mouth with their thumb while playing.
Key Features
• Premium Solid Wood Core: Built from rugged, resonant hardwood finished in an elegant African Brown tone that beautifully highlights the natural organic wood grain.
• Ergonomic and Compact Layout: Measuring approximately 5 inches long by 3 inches wide (approx. 12.7 x 7.6 cm), this medium size provides the perfect balance between clear sound projection and high portability.
• Dedicated Scraper Storage: Cleverly designed with a hollow channel passing straight through the lower body. This lets you slide and store the wooden mallet safely inside the frog when not in use so it never gets lost.
• Universal Cultural Appeal: Inspired by traditional percussion instruments of Southeast Asia, it brings authentic world-music textures straight into theater sound designs or educational rhythm circles.
