Product Description

The castanets, which belong to the percussion family, are sounded by clicking two similar wooden parts together. They are thought to have been ancient Egyptian instruments made of wood. Although there was no record of the castanets until the 16th century, they were depicted in art work as far back as the 13th century. In ancient Egypt the castanets were shaped like a small boot or like the very modern Spanish ones. They were also known in ancient Greece and are mentioned many times in Greco-Roman literature as krotalon, or krembalon, both meaning a dancer's instrument. Castanets remained in use in Spain throughout the Middle Ages and became known as the national instrument. Although relatively popular, they never became really well known much beyond southern Italy. The pair in the Coleman Collection is of the modern style and shape. They can be made from a variety of woods such as grenadilla, chestnut, box, or walnut. Both historically and today, castanets are played in two pairs. The player holds each pair in his or her hand passing the joining cord between the thumb and one finger. The dancers who use them both today and in the past have clicked them rhythmically or sounded long and short rolls. There are also sister versions of the castanets that are used in band music in Spain. They have long stems attached to each of the pairs. This type is also used for rhythm. ... Read more

Shocking quality in miniature size
This drum (can it really be called a conga at this size? let's just stick to drum...)
is a real instrument.The construction of the shell and the quality of the head,
hoop and tensioners all indicate that this is not a toy -- it's meant to be played.
But you should know that this a very small drum -- the head diameter is about
3 1/2".So it can't really be played like a conga, especially in terms of getting
any kind of a bass note with the palm of your hand (the palm of your hand
practically covers the entire head).But for what it is, it sounds great.As a finger
drum, it sounds more like something from South Asia than from South or Central
America.Very nice ring tone.I like this drum a lot, but mostly just to fool around
with.I can't imagine it being very useful as an accompaniment to anything other
than maybe a single acoustic guitar, and I can't really imagine it being part of a
larger percussion ensemble.But as a "apartment drum", it's great! ... Read more

Product Description

The tumbadora, also known as the conga drum, is made from a shell of elongated wood. The instrument is held between the knees of the musician or hung from the shoulders with a strong leather belt. The musician strikes the drum with the palms of his hands. To extract a short, muted sound the edge of the drum is struck with the left palm. To produce a deeper sound, the center of the drum is struck with the right hand. The tumbadora is essential to all Latin rhythms, particularly Afro-Cuban rhythms to which it adds a major rhythmic force approaching that of the double bass within an orchestra. This typically African instrument is an indispensable part of conga rhythms which is why the tumbadora is also known as the conga drum. ... Read more
