A wood scraper block, also known as wooden agogo or tone wood block, is an idiophone percussion instrument. It consists, usually, in a pair of small tubes made of wood, each one of different size, producing different tones. These tubes are played with a stick and have a ribbed surface to double as scraper. Originally proposed by Matin Cohen from Latin Percussion, imitating a Brazilian agogô and Latin güiro, this instrument is also manufactured with a single block or with three blocks.{{Cite web |title=Everything You Need to Know About A Guiro |url=https://www.carvedculture.com/blogs/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-about-a-guiro?srsltid=AfmBOoqP_-2_YH1vXebwLahGZj1c0fopyjSGfTTkHTT2Z_RXWGzYSVYW |access-date=2024-11-13 |website=Carved Culture |language=en}}
