Final check

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a real castanet?
It uses castanet shells but mounts them on a handle. The sound is close; the playing technique is completely different from hand-held castanets.
02Can adults use it?
Yes, but it's designed for children's classroom use. An adult wanting castanets for performance should look at traditional hand castanets.
03How loud is it?
Quiet and sharp. It's a click, not a crack — audible in a room but not a stage instrument.
04Does it come in a set?
This is a single castanet. For a classroom you'd order multiples.
