The Black Swamp SoundArt 10” Double Row Tambourine – German Silver Jingles, Calf Head (TD3) delivers the bright, wet character that has defined the orchestral tambourine sound for generations. Hand-hammered German silver jingles on a solid, steam-bent ash shell combine with a premium translucent calf head to produce a sound that is resonant, full, and unmistakably orchestral across every dynamic.
The SoundArt’s dual-depth jingle slot design staggers the contact points of each jingle pair, producing a fuller, more complex sound than a conventional single-depth system. German silver responds with bell-like clarity at soft dynamics and opens into a rich, resonant wash at full volume, a quality perfectly suited to the range of expression demanded by professional repertoire.

This is what I'd call the 'ideal' tambourine sound. First of all, it looks great, responds very well to any sort of abrasive for thumb rolls (I use rosin), and most importantly: it sounds great! The jingles are hammered nicely around the edges, and then point-hammered for that extra bit of resonance when held at the right angle. I've used this instrument for Stravinsky's 'Petroushka' and Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Scheherazade' and have achieved fantastic sounds on both recordings. If you are looking to purchase a great sounding all-purpose tambourine, this is the one for you.
