For years I've been curious about what created the cricket sound you hear in some latin influenced songs. (example: All Night Long by Lionel Richie) I thought it was something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Design-UnseenThailand-Wooden-percussion-Cricket/dp/B01KFP1WLU/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Cricket+Percussion&qid=1610039986&sr=8-5After finding out what it really was, I bought one, and it's awesome. It's great for any kind of music.

Yes, it makes a great cricket sound. It is quite easy to use and it can carry over an ensemble. This was a good purchase. It’s also good as an ambient instrument for relaxation. The only thing is that it is a little pricey for what it is. Other than that, no real complaints.

クラベスみたいな使い方するんですかねぇ。In the LP Studio with Marcelo WoloskiでYoutubeで検索すると音が聞けます。あまりに良い音だったんで即買いしました。３つのパチンコ球を金属の円柱にぶつける楽器です。構造のまま、打音が３つ重なるのですが、一音の方が気持ち良い音だったので２つのパチンコ球はテープで固定しちゃいました。名前の通り、コオロギの羽音をイメージしたものだと思うんですが、もっとアタックが強くて似てないと思います。

It's not a true cricket sound but it's close enough. You have to fiddle with it to find the right effect until you've got it.It's a little pricy for an item so limited in sound as well. But it is an unusual instrument that helps to make my sound unique.

True, crickets may be fairly easy to corral, and come relatively cheap at some pet stores (sold as reptile food, although China's last emperor kept one as a pet). There's only one problem: crickets simply refuse to chirp on cue! Sure, they can all stay together when doing it *a cappella*, but ask them to follow a click track (with OR without the lights on) and you're headed for a world of disappointment. Maybe they have no ear for music, but more likely they just don't give a roach's rectum about your unique artistic vision. (Plus, they smell bad!)That's why the folks at LP deserve big kudos for creating the next best thing - the LP634 Cricket. It's fun to play and sounds close enough to a real flock of crickets. Now that I've bought the LP634 Cricket, I can finally add some ambiance to my Dixieland version of Ravel's "Gaspard de la nuit". And unlike the alternative, no one will get angry if this gets loose in a kindergarten classroom (I learned that the hard way!).
