Klabak — hand clackers; a pair of hard shells clacked between the fingers to mark the beat.

Notes

Played by the dancer herself rather than by a musician, so she sets her own time and the players follow her. Cheap, loud, and in every house in the world that has dancing.

Two shells answering each other, which is where the name comes from: the Proto word meant an answer returned in kind and as sharp as what prompted it.
