The Gato Box™ warm features, soothing tones when played with mallets or fingers. Constructed with Maple wood and coated with a water-based varnish, The Gato Box is a slit drum that is equipped with a pair of soft mallets and durable rubber feet for protection when played on a table or floor. The two notes of the Gato Box will vary plus or minus a Major 3rd apart from D-flat (4) to G-flat. As with most fine instruments, keep the Gato Box out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
