TRADITIONAL BUILD: the Meinl Traditional Headed Wood Tambourine is built with a handheld wood frame that's lightweight and easy to play; plus, it gives the overall sound more warmth and presence
WHY IT MATTERS: the warm tonal musical depth of wood easily blends with acoustic instruments where tambourines are traditionally played
ONE BIG THING: equipped with a pre-tuned, fixed natural goat skin head for tambourine rolls and accents; it's important to know this head is all natural goat skin, and it may have color variations or spots—this is not a defect or dirt
DRIVING THE SOUND: aluminum jingles respond with a medium-bright tone and controlled volume that can easily support your mix; aluminum sits near the middle between dryness and brightness along with medium-range volume
ZOOM IN: the rubber grip gives you a solid handle on the tambourine with a comfortable feel for all skill levels
Description
MEINL headed wood tambourines are outfitted with the finest hand selected goat skin heads for uniform thickness and outstanding sound quality. Available in one or two row versions with aluminum jingles, this model tambourine delivers a bright, shimmering response with full resonance from the pre-tuned goat skin head and sturdy wooden frame. Aluminum jingles are mid-range between dry and bright sounds and low and high pitch frequencies with a light sustain. Headed tambourines are ideal for adding a multitude of sound possibilities from playing as a hand drum to using the head to implement sound effects such as finger rolls and pitch bending techniques. The head also helps to compose the overall resonance of the tambourine.
