## Overview

The Meinl Traditional Handheld Tambourine combines a lightweight, ergonomic synthetic frame with durable aluminum jingles mounted on sealed steel pins, delivering a crisp, medium-dry tone ideal for live, studio, or worship settings. Designed in Germany with over 70 years of expertise, it features a padded foam grip and a unique guiro-ridge for versatile percussion effects, making it a professional-grade instrument built to last and impress.

## Description

The hand held versions are extremely light weight for extensive and energetic playing. The mountable version is built to resist hard hitting. 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.

Review: Pro Quality -My new fav - As a former pro musician who's recently been called back into "service", I needed to update my personal auxiliary-percussion inventory, which necessitated this purchase of a headless tambourine. After weeks of research (both in-store & online), I finally settled on this model... (repeated viewing of Meinl's informative YouTube vids helped immensely in my decision-making. If you've not seen any of their vids, I highly recommend them. Well-worth your time, especially if you're curious about the difference in sounds re: the various jingle material). Upon receipt of my new Meinl tambourine, I was pleasantly impressed first by the secure, heavy duty packaging. I also found the attached mini-sized catalogue of their percussion line very helpful. Playing this instrument is a true delight! From the comfortable -yet not overly puffy- foam grip to the crisp, clear tone of the nickel plate jingles. There's just enough sustain to provide interest, but no overt ringing. Of course, different music types will call for different jingle-tones, but for my purposes, this particular tambourine suits my needs perfectly. I love the "guiro-style" rim. It adds another very useful dimension to the playability of this instrument. The overall quality is quite impressive, even for a non-concert-quality instrument, at any price point. Construction is solid. The finish: smooth & neat. It feels, sounds, and performs like.a quality, pro-level instrument, not a "toy" in the least. This has become my new fav "go-to", general-purpose tambo. In my opinion Meinl has done a fine job with this tambourine and have earned a loyal customer in me. I'll definitely be buying more of their percussion instruments. I believe that you will also be quite pleased with this product. PS: I also purchased the Meinl Tambourine Gig Bag (ASIN: B007WLQSRE) offered here on desertcart. Afterall, an instrument can only perform well if it's well-cared for. :) Thank you for reading, -CC, desertcart Prime Member-Reviewer
