A full-size hand tambourine. Louder and lower than 8-inch models, and heavier over a long set.

Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
A fixed head lets you strike a surface for a sharp, controlled attack. Headless models are lighter and looser with a washier, less defined sound.
This is a hand tambourine, designed to be held and struck. Mounting it requires a separate clamp or holder, sold separately.
It's a standard full size. Louder and fuller than 8-inch models, but noticeably heavier if you're playing long passages one-handed.
Strike the head near the edge rather than the center, and rest a finger on the shell to damp the jingles between hits.
