Cute

I have to admit that I know nothing about tambourines at all, however, I know that kids love to play with them and well heck, I like to keep the beat to the music when my grandson and I are playing around! I believe that it teaches him by showing him and it is really fun, not to mention, a great stress relief! The tambourine is made of a sturdy wood frame and metal cymbals???? This is not a cheap toy. It reminds me of the instruments that we played with in music class at school. The quality is obviously made to last for a long time, just like the school instruments did after 400,000 kids played with them! I am sorry that I cannot give a musical review. I just honestly cannot say what a professional tambourine should sound like. I just know this tambourine is a great quality item and alot of fun.
