Meinl Percussion Turbo Cabasa – Medium Size (CA5BK)
With Sound Ports for Extra Projection

The Meinl Turbo Cabasa (CA5BK) is a professional-grade percussion instrument designed to deliver crisp, powerful sound with ease.

Built with a stainless steel ribbed cylinder, wrapped in a smooth-moving steel bead chain, the cabasa creates a classic raspy texture perfect for Latin, funk, pop, or world music grooves. Whether you’re spinning, shaking, tapping, or rubbing, the Turbo Cabasa responds smoothly and consistently thanks to its balanced chain tension.
