percussion instrument

The guiro is traditionally played by holding

the guiro in your left hand. Your left thumb goes

inside a back sound hole so that the guiro is in place. The "pua" (scraper) is held in the right hand and scrapes the instrument up and down. The guiro requires both long and short sounds to be appropriate. This creates a series of clicking sounds
