Professional Pandero Set – Handcrafted by Panderos PR × Raquel Music Store Special Order

Bring the heart and soul of Puerto Rican folklore — plena, bomba, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms — right to your studio, jam-session, or stage. This set bundles the three essential panderos used in a plena ensemble — all handcrafted with care in Puerto Rico.

🪘 What’s in the Set?

• 12" Requinto — the lead-voice pandero, delivering sharp, bright tones and agile solos.

• 13" Punteador — the mid-voice drum that provides rhythmic groove and drive.

• 16" Seguidor — the bass-voice drum that anchors the rhythm with deep, resonant tone. 

Together, they give you the full panorama of a traditional plena percussion section — melody, rhythm, and bass, all in one set.

🌳 Quality & Craftsmanship

• Each piece is hand-built in Puerto Rico using carefully selected native woods (subject to availability), so no two sets are exactly alike — every set has its own character, grain and sound. 

• Stainless-steel rings and tuning hardware ensure durability and a stable, punchy tone that cuts through live performances and recordings alike. 

🔥 Why This Set Is Special

• Designed for the serious percussionist — perfect for plena, bomba, folkloric ensembles, and Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms.

• Brings authentic Puerto Rican sound and heritage — ideal for musicians from the island, the diaspora, or anyone who loves “lo nuestro.”

• A complete set — with requinto, punteador, and seguidor — ready to deliver full rhythmic depth and versatility.

🎵 Ideal For

• Plena and bomba bands looking for a traditional, high-quality percussion set.

• Percussionists and sound artists who want authentic tone, character, and heritage in their music.

• Collectors, cultural music fans, or the Puerto Rican diaspora who want to bring a bit of Borinquen wherever they go.

🛒 Ordering & Production Time

Because every set is handcrafted to order and depends on wood availability, each set is unique in wood grain, finish, and sonic character. 

Estimated production time: approximately 2–3 weeks. (As with our other instruments, to make sure you get a quality set crafted with care.)
