Espresso
This is what you want to have!
The special alloyed jingles give the espresso tambourine despite of its small size a great projection.
Specially bonded ply-wood provides the necessary sturdiness and roundness of the very slim frame. The cut-outs for the jingles are circumferential which reduces weight and guarantees optimal sound projection of the jingles.
The orchestra tambourines of the “Professional Line” and “Professional Line Tunable” are the consequence of acoustical and technical developments in close collaboration with worldwide leading professional musicians.
Characteristic is an excellent way of playing, a brilliant sound as well as an ergonomically optimal construction. A light-weight plywood frame and a balanced emphasis enable a fatigue-proof playing.
Used are only high-class, extremely equal tanned and thin calf heads; its outside is roughened by using a special treatment for a thumb trill playing. Double rowed tambourines have an ergonomically shaped grip, which reduces the moment of force adapted the fingers and which guarantees an easy control over the instrument.
Six different jingle materials enable an indescribable tonal diversity.
Each is unique in its kind!
Each of the six basic colours has a radiant beautiful sound.
Like a virtuos painter conjures colors on the canvas, plays with light and shadow, breathes life into the masterpiece, also you can combine jingles of different materials and increase the diversity of sounds almost immeasurably. To suit purpose or your personal preferences!
With jingles arranged in zigzag, the timbre of the ??? jingle material can be further changed and composed to a new acoustic impression.
Also resonance behavior and center of balance of the instrument can be influenced. Positioning heavier jingles near the grip influences the center of balance positively. For a very subtle response in pianissimo it may be advising, mounting slower jingles near the grip, whereas on the opposite side, in the attack area, the more sensitive material is placed.
