I used these in a performance of Capriccio Espagnol. They are a superb set of castanets. Here is a demonstration of how they sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIGdu_jx4MQ

We bought these castanets to go with our performance of St. Saens' Danse Bachanale. They are perfect! They have a crisp, dry sound with a good dynamic range. We can hear them all the way through the giant triple forte ending of a 110 piece full orchestra. Very pleased with this instrument!
