  • Patent number: 7579538
    Abstract: In a musical instrument (1), comprising a so-called cabasa (2) with a cylindrical main body (3), about the periphery of which beaded sounding bodies (4) extend that interact with the surface of the main body (3) to produce a tone when a shaking movement is performed, and a joined-on handle (5) that extends away from the main body (3), provision is made that the joined-on handle (5) is mounted in a manner so as to be able to pivot, that a foot pedal (12) is provided, and that a pivot movement of the foot pedal (12) is converted by means of a transmission device, particularly a transmission linkage or toothed belt, into a pivot movement of the joined-on handle (5).
