Black Swamp T12-1 Chromium Single-Row 12″ Tambourine (Calf Head)

Dry and crunchy with maximum articulation and projection.

Calf Head
Our high quality, clear calf skin heads offer the feel and tone sought after by die hard tambourine traditionalists.  Clear calf heads absorb less moisture in humid conditions than white calf heads, resulting in a more playable surface and better response when you need it most.

Solid Ash Shell
The body of our SoundArt Series 12″ single row tambourine is manufactured with a steam bent, solid ash shell, less deep than double row tambourines.  The 12″ diameter produces a broader tone than 10″ tambourines, while the single row of jingles produces a less intense sound for more delicate passages.  The lighter weight and shorter depth also accomodates smaller hands or younger players.

Hand Hammered Jingles
All SoundArt Series 12″ single row tambourines are custom fit with hand hammered jingles for a full and unique sound.  We offer three jingle types, Chromium 25™, German Silver and Beryllium Copper, as well as a combination Chromium 25™/Phosphor Bronze, for dynamic contrast and tonal versatility.
