Tambourine

A tambourine is a percussion instrument consisting of a circular frame, often made of wood or plastic, with metal jingles (small moving disks) attached around its edge. When shaken, tapped, or struck, the jingles produce a bright, shimmering sound that adds rhythm and texture to music. It’s widely used across various genres, from classical to pop and folk, offering both a visual and auditory element to performances. The tambourine can be played with hands or with a stick, making it a versatile and accessible instrument for enhancing musical compositions.
