Hand Percussion
The Flex-A-Tone Latin Percussion LP1-5 Standard creates those strange, undulating sounds you immediately associate with saw effects. The steel spring reacts to the slightest movement, and the wooden ball strikes the blade as you bend the plate to raise or lower the note. It's a simple little accessory to get to grips with, ideal for slipping mischievous effects into an intro or a break!

Presentation
The Flex-A-Tone Latin Percussion LP1-5 Standard features a spring steel blade that bends easily under thumb pressure.
The wooden ball hits the plate with each jerk, creating that typical metallic song, halfway between a musical saw and a glissando effect. The steel frame, designed for a firm grip, helps to keep the instrument stable even when the movements are accentuated.
Pitch variation is managed simply by twisting the blade slightly, giving direct control over the sound curve. Its responsiveness means you can go from a soft whisper to a high-pitched cry without any particular effort. The resulting effects work just as well in Latin music as in sound design or theatre.
The character of the timbre helps to punctuate a passage with a colour that few instruments can imitate. Made in the USA, this model remains a must-have for anyone who likes to add a slightly offbeat touch to their arrangements!

To find out more...
Latin Percussion was founded in 1964 in New York by Martin Cohen, who found it difficult to source musical instruments, partly because of import restrictions on Cuba following the 1962 missile crisis. It was impossible to buy congas, bongos and the like, so he made them himself! After a few unsuccessful attempts, he began to create good instruments, to establish himself on the market and then to become one of the leaders! He even became an exporter, so well known was his catalogue of products around the world!
Latin Percussion, also known as LP, is a brand of musical instruments specialising in ethnic percussion instruments. They are built to withstand the rigours of intensive use, on a drum kit, in an orchestra or other application. There's a real desire to innovate and give musicians something extra to play with, without losing any of the sensations.
