Bass-Harmony- Tambourine
Powerful chords that fill the room
The bass harmony tambourine is a powerful accompanying instrument with the basic chords C major, F major, G major, D minor, E minor and A minor. You can strike the chords with the mallet or pluck them individually with your fingers. The full, yet differentiated sound is reminiscent of a gently played piano and is very suitable for accompanying simple songs or providing a solid basis for playing with melodic instruments.
It is ideal for sustained improvisations, sound meditations or neo-classical soundscapes. By muffling the strings with your hand, felt or fabric, the timbre can be influenced directly, similar to an open piano.
The tuning of the bass harmony tambourine’s chords is an octave lower than the classic harmony tambourine.
Applications
The string tambourine is suited to accompanying songs with chords, similar to a guitar. And yet it is much simpler to play because you only have to hit the chords and don’t have to change the fingering as with guitar chords.
This instrument has therefore proven particularly useful in school music lessons, as both children and teachers learn to accompany songs themselves in a very short time using the string tambourine. As part of the Jekits project, the instrument has already been used with great success in many schools nationwide.
