Tambourines

Tambourines are versatile percussion instruments that consist of a ring with metal jingles (bells) and sometimes a strung head. They are played by hand by hitting, shaking or rubbing, creating both rhythmic and sparkling sound effects. Tambourines are widely used in pop, folk, classical music, church music and world music. Thanks to their clear and lively sound, they add extra energy and dynamism to musical performances. They are easy to play and therefore suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians, and are a popular instrument within many ensembles and orchestras.
