What’s unique about skinless wood tambourines

Skinless wood tambourines are a special type of tambourine that retains the basic structure and function of a tambourine, but removes the traditional animal skin or plastic tympanum. This design makes the skinless wood tambourine different in sound and playing style.
The frame of a skinless wood tambourine is usually made of wood, is round, and can vary in diameter. Like the traditional tambourine, it has multiple sets of metal plates on the frame. When the frame is struck, the metal pieces hit each other to produce a crisp, clear sound. Because there is no membrane, the sound of the skinless wood tambourine is more ethereal and crisp, and less deep and muffled than that of the traditional tambourine.

The skinless wooden tambourine is usually used in children’s music education or some specific musical performances. Its simple and practical design makes it suitable for beginners as well as some professional players. Meanwhile, due to the special characteristics of its material and structure, the skinless wooden tambourine also has a certain collector’s value.
Overall, the skinless wooden tambourine is a unique and interesting instrument, full of creativity and possibilities in terms of its sound and the way it is played.
