Grover 10" Single row, Spanish Silver fluted jingles

One of the distinguishing features of the traditional Spanish tambourine (sometimes referred to as a Basque or “Gypsy” tambourine) are jingles that are fluted (or crinkled). This effectively controls the resonance of the instrument while at the same time adding a focused richness to the sound. The result is an instrument that has a spirited “folk-like” quality. The sonority of this instrument can be called “gritty” and is a little less refined than our modern orchestral series tambourines.

Lightweight and easy to manipulate, our Spanish Silver Tambourine is perfect for pieces which call for a “rustic” yet professional sounding tambourine. Perfect for Spanish literature like “La Vida Breve”, “Espana”, and “Rapsodie Espangnol”, this instrument will surely add a unique and valuable color to any percussionist’s sound palette!

Features include:

• 12 pairs hand-fluted silver jingles
• Lightweight single-row shell
• Textured skin head
• Captive jingle pins
