Castanets: Welcome to Adobe GoLive 6

Black Swamp Percussion offers the most creative and functional handle design of any castanet ever available. Play on your knee or in the air for dependability and versatility in any musical situation. Plus, the micro-adjust tension knob also allows you to adjust the castanet's response quickly, even in the middle of a performance.

Artist Thoughts: Pedro Carneiro

"I used small rosewood castanets for my recording of Cassiopeia, a concerto for percussion and large orchestra by renowned Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu.
The castanets are in fact, the first instrument to be heard in the piece. They have a powerfull, yet sumptuous tone. Plus, the handle's Micro-Adjust tone control made it a lot easier to play this passage precisely, as the performer has to walk and move whilst playing the castanets!"
