Your cart is empty.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.

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 Amazon. Afterall, an instrument can only perform well if it's well-cared for. :)Thank you for reading,-CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer

I lost my tambourine in a move, and I, of course, had to buy a new one. I looked for a while, since I wasn't really wanting the half moon shape I had before. I found this one, and was intrigued by not only the shape, which is a different type half moon, but also the fact that it contains plated steel PLUS solid brass jingles. The product page is set up very well for information, and with videos that are GREAT so that you can hear the sound of the various tambourines. I knew I had to have this one when I heard it, and it's just as described and shown. The sound is marvelous with the two different jingles, much fuller and more beautiful. The edge is ridged so a drummer can use it with a drum set. All in all, it's just a beautiful instrument and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Tambourine has a good balance and fits well in the hand. Good sound and the balance helps with shaken rolls.

Our percussionist at church prefers this one i let him try over the one that came with his professional percussion setup. It just has a great sound and is well made. Beautiful instrument.

I purchased this Meinl Recording Tambourine for our group as a fill accent in our mostly acoustic related music. The tambourine is well constructed and should hold up to frequent use. It has a nice, modern appearance. I usually lean toward natural materials, but decided that the modern composite materials used for the frame of this tambourine would be a good choice. The contoured padded handle is comfortable and helps relieve strain. This tambourine is not light in weight but not overly heavy either. The most important element is how it sounds. The jingles on this model are a mix of two different materials, each with a different sound. The overall impact is a little brighter than your typical tambourine, but not excessively. It provides a slightly unique accent that I think is nice. I would not consider this as a subtle accent instrument. The sound is fairly loud and clear, lending to the rhythm and, as with most instruments, should be used with sensitivity to the music. In other words, it is loud enough to be either a nice addition to the music in the hands of a skilled musician OR a distraction in the hands of someone with less sensitivity. All in all, I am very happy with the selection of this instrument.

I have several tambourines but they all have silver or steel jingles. In the mix of a song, the tambourine always sounds thin and weak. I finally tried brass and it has the right effect. The pitch of the jingles is one whole step lower than the same Meinl with silver jingles. It's about 20% heavier too. The jingles also ring for about 8-10 seconds on open hits whereas the silvers just die out right away. My guess is I'll end up with a 1/2 brass, 1/2 silver tambourine at some point to get the best of both worlds but I'd recommend buying this if you're into a deeper tone than the usual tambourine.

Excelente pandero modelo Tmt1-bk color negro con jingles de acero niquelado (chapado), pesa 378 gramos. Muy ligero. Estoy fascinada con el. Lo estrené en la iglesia 🩷
