[edit] Claves = palitos?

Are claves and palitos the same? Mikkalai 18:54, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Clave or Claves?

Is "claves" plural or singular? It feels as if one clave is a wooden dowel, while the instrument consists of two claves, hence "claves". Han-Kwang (talk) 14:18, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In Spanish, where the name comes from, clave is singular and claves is plural. The plural form is often used, of course, because the claves normally come in pairs. So, you're correct. [See RAE (definition 10) (the definition is given for the singular form, but it notes that the word is usually used in plural) and also the Spanish Wikipedia entry ] --Jonik 18:00, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removing of rhythm

I suggest to remove the image of the clave rhythm from this page because this rhythm is described in the article about the clave_(rhythm) and isn't actually a description for the instrument. --Melligem 13:03, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree, so have got rid of it. As well as not really being relevant, its description was incomplete, and if completed, it would have been simply repeating the article on clave (rhythm). --Pscholl 21:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be a link to that page then? --Goldencrisp87 19:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

There already is - it's in the second paragraph. --Pscholl 23:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Picture

I highly reccomend a picture of someone holding claves.
