Designed for any musician from percussionists and drummers to singers and horn players, this handheld tambourine has a balanced feel to easily add movement or accents to your music. 14 pairs of mixed nickel silver plated steel and solid brass jingles respond with a bright attack and warm tone with cutting volume. Jingles are mounted in a special "sandwich" position with the flanged edges facing away from each other for a more precise attack and filling resonance. The crescent shape frame is made with ultra-durable synthetic material that's made to last. Features a ridged “guiro” style surface that you can drag a drumstick across for sound effects.
