English term or phrase: Slapstick
Hello,

I am translating a document about instruments, but have not found the equivalence for "slapstick" as a hand percussion.

Thank you in advance.

látigo(instrumento musical)
Explanation:
El látigo es un instrumento musical perteneciente al grupo de percusión, concretamente al de los idiófonos. Consta de dos láminas de madera unidas por una bisagra. Cuando estas dos láminas se entrechocan, producen un sonido similar al de un látigo, de ahí su nombre.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Látigo_(instrumento)

In music, a whip or slapstick is a clapper (percussion instrument) consisting of two wooden boards joined by a hinge at one end. When the boards are brought together rapidly, the sound is reminiscent of the crack of a whip. It is often used in modern orchestras, bands, and percussion ensembles.
