Meinl Percussion Traditional Tambourine, Handheld Half-Moon, Synthetic Frame, Double Row Alloy Jingles, 2-Year Warranty

Two of the most popular alloys in tambourine jingle construction are blended in this model to provide a well-balanced sound that delivers both high and low pitches. When played, the solid brass jingles have a slightly darker, warmer sound while the nickelsilver plated steel jingles give a brighter, crisp accent at the same time. This method of blending the two alloys has great tonal properties, and any percussionist, drummer or vocalist will find it very musical and fun to play. The sturdy ABS plastic frame has a Guiro style playing surface for unique accents when played with a stick. These tambourines are extremely durable for even the heaviest of hitters.

The Meinl Traditional Handheld Tambourine is built around comfort and durability, along with outstanding musical tone; its half-moon shape gives you instant balance while playing, even if you're a beginner. It's easy to use and control whether you're an experienced percussionist or a singer; no prior skill required. The mixed plated steel/solid brass jingles respond with a bright attack followed by warm sustain with volume that blends easily; combining steel and brass gives it a well-rounded, clear and vibrant tone.

This tambourine is super durable with its 100% synthetic all-weather frame; jingles are mounted on steel pins that are sealed inside the frame, so there's no risk of them falling out. The ergonomic grip is padded with soft foam, giving you a solid handle on the tambourine with a comfortable feel. The frame is molded with ridges that you can drag a drumstick across to create a guiro sound effect (or tambourine roll).

This professional-grade tambourine performs great live or in the studio and is designed for any style; take on the road for long tours or weekend gigs, have on-hand for studio work, or play in worship settings. Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; their expert German designers have deep relationships with their builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality.
