## Description

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.

Review: Pro Quality -My new fav - As a former pro musician who's recently been called back into "service", I needed to update my personal auxiliary-percussion inventory, which necessitated this purchase of a headless tambourine. After weeks of research (both in-store & online), I finally settled on this model... (repeated viewing of Meinl's informative YouTube vids helped immensely in my decision-making. If you've not seen any of their vids, I highly recommend them. Well-worth your time, especially if you're curious about the difference in sounds re: the various jingle material). Upon receipt of my new Meinl tambourine, I was pleasantly impressed first by the secure, heavy duty packaging. I also found the attached mini-sized catalogue of their percussion line very helpful. Playing this instrument is a true delight! From the comfortable -yet not overly puffy- foam grip to the crisp, clear tone of the nickel plate jingles. There's just enough sustain to provide interest, but no overt ringing. Of course, different music types will call for different jingle-tones, but for my purposes, this particular tambourine suits my needs perfectly. I love the "guiro-style" rim. It adds another very useful dimension to the playability of this instrument. The overall quality is quite impressive, even for a non-concert-quality instrument, at any price point. Construction is solid. The finish: smooth & neat. It feels, sounds, and performs like.a quality, pro-level instrument, not a "toy" in the least. This has become my new fav "go-to", general-purpose tambo. In my opinion Meinl has done a fine job with this tambourine and have earned a loyal customer in me. I'll definitely be buying more of their percussion instruments. I believe that you will also be quite pleased with this product. PS: I also purchased the Meinl Tambourine Gig Bag (ASIN: B007WLQSRE) offered here on desertcart. Afterall, an instrument can only perform well if it's well-cared for. :) Thank you for reading, -CC, desertcart Prime Member-Reviewer
