Black Swamp 12" German Silver tambourine: each
Black Swamp 12" German Silver tambourine: each
When you need a sound that blends well and speaks delicately, choose an S3 Series tambourine. S3 stands for Sensitive, Subtle, and Sophisticated, and was designed as a complementary voice to our more dominant sounding SoundArt line.
JINGLES:
Black Swamp jingles are hand hammered in such a way to produce a full sonority while balancing characteristics such as attack, tessitura, sustain, projection, and tone. German Silver (aka nickel silver), has been used in musical instruments for centuries. It has a musical ringing quality that is bright and pure. A classic tambourine sound.
HEAD:
Black Swamp's high quality, translucent 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.
SHELL:
The body of Black Swamps S3 Series single row tambourine is manufactured with a steam bent, solid ash shell, less deep than double row tambourines. The single row of jingles produces a less intense sound for more delicate passages. The lighter weight and shorter depth also accommodates smaller hands or younger players. This 12" model is slightly larger than the standard 10" and produces a broader sound.
