Product studyNino Wood Single Row Tambourine

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Hand percussion in worship and acoustic groups
  • Classroom and kids' percussion where light weight matters
  • A soft backbeat that won't bury an acoustic guitar

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting the thick wash of a double-row tambourine
  • Loud stage work over a drum kit and amps
  • Studio work needing maximum volume and sustain

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Single row of jingles

Drier and quieter than a double row, and faster to stop. Easier to play clean sixteenths without smearing.

Detail 02

Wood frame

Warmer, softer attack than a plastic frame, and gentler on your palm over a long set.

Detail 03

Metal jingles

The harder you strike, the brighter and longer they ring. Your free hand controls the decay by muting the frame.

Detail 04

$39.99

Entry pricing. Frame and hardware are basic, which is fine for teaching, rehearsal and light live use.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Wood frames dry and crack — keep it out of hot cars and direct sun
  2. 02Jingle pins loosen over time; a quarter turn stops most rattle
  3. 03One row won't carry over an unmiked drum kit

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is a single row loud enough for a band?

For acoustic and worship settings, yes. Against a drum kit and electric guitars it will disappear unless you mic it.

02Wood frame or plastic — does it matter?

Wood gives a warmer, rounder attack and is easier on your hand. Plastic is more durable and shrugs off humidity. For indoor playing, wood is the nicer feel.

03Can I mount it on a stand?

Not directly. Hand tambourines have no built-in mount, so you'd need a clamp-style tambourine mount on a cymbal stand or hi-hat rod.

04Is this suitable for a child?

Yes. A single row keeps the weight and the volume down, which makes it easier for small hands to control.
