Meinl 2 Rows Mixed Jingles Black Tambourine 8"

Meinl's 8" Compact Wood Tambourine arrives in black with a two–row mixed jingle configuration that balances brightness and warmth across the frequency spectrum. Built from wood with brass and stainless steel jingles in a single frame, this instrument delivers the responsiveness needed for both studio tracking and live performance without the bulk of larger models.

The compact 8" diameter keeps weight minimal, making it comfortable for extended hand–playing sessions and ideal for musicians who need quick articulation and fast jingle decay. Mixed jingles—combining different metals—produce a fuller, more blended tone than single–metal alternatives. The black finish and wood construction give reliable durability through repeated gigging and recording environments across Australia's demanding climate conditions.

Light, fast, and punchy in its sound signature, the Compact Wood Tambourine slots easily into bedroom producer setups, live percussion rigs, and studio overdub sessions. The two–row jingle layout offers enough presence for clarity without overwhelming acoustic instruments or dominating a dense mix.
