a practice instrument well worth the price

Shipping: The triangle came with the two ends pushed together (and askew/non-coplanar) such that it wouldn't even produce a sound. I had to leave it overnight with a chisel wedged in to get a mm of space. (still askew - it'll be something funny to show friends) The product itself: There are overtones, but it's about what I was expecting. It's a perfectly satisfactory practice instrument; probably not acceptable for classical performances/recordings beyond junior high. Recommended: as a practice instrument; for musicians who want a low-quality triangle for a specific genre/piece/aesthetic; for junior high students whose bands require them to purchase their own triangles (is that a thing?) but who don't want to spend much cash

Inexpensive but good

The Danmar 6" triangle is not the best or highest quality triangle, but for the price it's a good value. If you don't have fifty bucks to drop on a higher quality triangle, the Danmar 6" is a good alternative. It's clear and has good tone, although there are some overtones I noticed (though they're mostly audible when you're playing it, not when you're in the audience listening). I'd recommend it for anyone on a budget.
