The SELA 2-Tone Claves are made in Germany from high-quality rosewood, which has a deep fundamental tone and delivers a powerful, brilliant sound rich in overtones. Claves are mainly used in Latin American culture as a rhythm instrument and give musical styles such as Rumba, Salsa or Bossa Nova their characteristic groove ("Clave"). They form the basic rhythmic framework to which all other instruments are oriented.

But also in western pop and rock music the clave can be found again and again. Thus, the SELA 2-Tone Claves fit best in a Latin ensemble, but of course also enrich any other musical style with their distinctive sound. In addition, they inspire with their chic, reddish-brown coloring, the matte lacquered finish and the high-quality workmanship.

The SELA 2-Tone Claves 25 are slightly longer and thicker than the 2-Tone Claves 20 models and thus deliver a slightly deeper sound with even more assertiveness.
