ABSTRACT:
In construction of an idiophone such as a tambourine having paired metallic jingles idly supported by carrier rods in respective windows formed transversely through an elongated shell, each carrier rod is fixed at both ends by inner ridges of the shell and the end of each shell project inwards beyond walls of the shell. Multiple phased collisions between the jingles, between the jingles and the ridges and between the jingles and the walls enable generation of colorful musical tones with rich acoustic variety and tone quality.
