Cas Cas are two seed pods joined by a string. They are often played in pair traditionally by the Ga tribe in the South of Ghana. One ball is held in the hand while the other is swung around the hand, cracking against the other. This is an amazing Ghanaian instrument. Watch out, it’s pretty addictive.

Novelty present for grandkids - they love it.
Bought (Cas Cas, harmonica & ukulele) to amuse the grandkids (10 & 14) during school holidays.They (+ son-in-law) have loved the challenge of learning all three, especially the Cas Cas, which is something none of us had heard of until I stumbled on a U-tube video someone had posted on FB.

Very addictive to play, good quality product
Lovely instruments. Arrived a day earlier than expected, came in a well-sized pouch, and good quality. One other review mentioned them being different lengths, I haven't personally had that issue as both the pairs I bought (One pair for me, one for a friend) were of equal size, even taking into account the seed pod size. The product also came with a short letter advertising the company, the various charitable projects they contribute to, and suggesting to visit their website for information about the cascas themselves. With all this in mind, I would highly recommend the cascas and in the future I may buy instruments from this company again.

Amazing product
Product arrived earlier than advised which is great, was well packaged and also came a cool free carry bag for the drums. Have played with them for a bit and the quality is amazing they feel good in hand to play, would defiantly recommend this product, ideal for any person weather your a pro or a starter, sound is really great and the clicks are very nice when you bang them together. Over all very happy with this buy

Different lengths of the ropes
Well built however the two ropes have different length which makes it hard to sync left and right hand. This unintentionally forces you to develop polyrythmics I guess, but does inhibit efficient use of the instrument.

Brilliant!
I'm really happy with my Cas Cas, arrived super promptly and well packaged. I've been putting them through their paces over the past few days and they're holding up really well. The string might appear a little irregular at first but it evens out with some playing. And above all the company seems to have a great ethos that's worth supporting.

Very pleased!
First of all, the expected delivery was about a week and they turned up after 2 days! I'm not very good at playing them yet but they appear to be very good quality. Would recommend.
