Mano Percussion Red/Blue Wood Finger Castanets
The Mano Percussion UE542 Red & Blue Wood Finger Castanets (Pair) consists of a pair of concave shells each red and blue in colour and are joined on one edge by a cord.
They are held in the hand and used to produce clicks for rhythmic accents or a ripping or rattling sound consisting of a rapid series of clicks. Traditionally made of hardwood.
The Technique:
In practice a player usually uses two pairs of castanets. One pair is held in each hand, with the string hooked over the thumb and the castanets resting on the palm with the fingers bent over to support the other side. Each pair will make a sound of a slightly different pitch.
