About This Item
The Valencia Lotus Tambourine is a 10-inch handheld percussion instrument designed in collaboration with percussionist and educator Layne Redmond for world percussion and traditional Middle Eastern musical applications. It features a pre-tuned Renaissance drumhead, an Acousticon shell, a molded internal handgrip, and five sets of heavy-gauge German silver jingles arranged in a traditional double-row configuration. The pre-tuned drumhead eliminates the need for routine tuning adjustments and serves as the primary playing surface for striking, tapping, and rhythmic articulation. The molded internal handgrip supports instrument control during performance, while the lightweight construction and traditional round format make the tambourine suitable for music education, cultural music studies, rehearsals, ensemble participation, and live performance activities.
