These ergonomically shaped tambourines are available in hand held or mountable versions. The durable ABS frame allows hard hitting and energetic hand playing. Nickel silver plated steel jingles produce a bright sound that projects well. MEINL Hand and Set Up Tambourines (design protected by a utility model) have a distinct design advantage due to the construction of the ABS frame. Unlike other tambourines, MEINL’s utilizes several different parts in the frame which are assembled into a type of “sandwich”. This results in unsurpassed durability.
