Compact tambourines from MEINL Percussion are light, fast, and full of sound. With 12 pairs of jingles, ample volume fully projects from a shake or hit with the hands. This model is equipped with nickel silver plated steel jingles that lean towards a bright, shimmering sound with great volume and resonance. A specially designed ergonomic grip allows the player to comfortably hold the tambourine in the hand without discomfort or the feeling that the instrument is slipping out of grip while playing. These compact tambourines are ideal for fast, energetic styles and are available in five different versions from super dry and low-pitched to bright and resounding.
