Tambourine for Adults, Traditional Handheld Musical Instrument — NOT MADE IN CHINA — Mixed Jingles, Synthetic Frame

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.
