vibraslap
The vibraslap is a percussion instrument consisting of a piece of stiff wire (bent into a U-shape) connecting a wood ball to a hollow box of wood with metal “teeth” inside. The percussionist holds the metal wire in one hand and strikes the ball (usually against the palm of their other hand). The box acts as a resonating body for a metal mechanism placed inside with a number of loosely fastened pins or rivets that vibrate and rattle against the box.〔"(Vibra-Slap )", ''Music.VT.edu''.

==Invention==
The vibraslap was the first patent granted to the instrument manufacturing company Latin Percussion.〔"(LP Vibra-Slap II - Standard Wood (LP208) )", ''SteveWeissMusic.com''. URL last accessed December 11, 2009.〕
The vibraslap's inventor was Martin Cohen.〔"(USPTO )",''USPTO''.〕 Cohen was told by percussionist Bobby Rosengarden, "If you want to make some money, make a jawbone that doesn’t break." About the inventing process Cohen remembers, "I had never seen a jawbone before, but I had heard one on a Cal Tjader album. I found out that it was an animal skull that you would strike, and the sound would come from the teeth rattling in the loose sockets. So I took that concept and invented the Vibraslap, which was my first patent." 〔"(PASIC 2012 )", ''PAS.org''. URL last accessed December 11, 2009.〕
