The egg shaker is typically made of plastic or wood and is filled with small beads, seeds, or pellets that create a rhythmic sound when shaken. The sound produced is soft and gentle, similar to maracas but with a subtler tone.
Musicians, educators, and children often use egg shakers to add a simple percussion element to their performances, music classes, or recreational activities. They are easy to hold and play, making them popular among people of all ages.
