Price point is probably fair.It is made out of hardwood and wrapped with a shiny mylar, like a drum, and the hole is wrapped with a gold colored metal which feels pretty good on the middle finger. There is no hand grip or indent for the hand. It is a basic tambourine with a “fiberskin” head. I like the sound of the head. More drum like than other tambourines I’ve used.It does not meet professional quality standards. The head is glued on and has a ribbon over it with 2 staples to fasten the ends. The jingles are on the “tinny side.” Over all, I would give it a C for quality and a B for sound but I will keep it in the mix for now.

I was a little bit disappointed with this tambourine. I was doing thumb rolls with it quite nicely at first, but after just a few times the head must have absorbed moisture and will no longer play well. I wouldn’t recommend using it for anything professional, but if you just need a standard tambourine and the classic tambourine noise, then you should be happy with this.

Wow. Great tambourine. What more could you want. Bells, whistles, percussion. Looks nice and feels great. I love playing it when I am baked out of my mind. Live and love.
