The A-Star 6 Inch Tambourine is a classroom percussion staple: a solid wood frame with a pre-tuned riveted skin head, four pairs of jingles and a thumb hole for easy holding. The head gives a warm, deep tap while the jingles add a clear, bright shimmer — two contrasting sounds in one simple instrument for ages 3 and up.

Who is this tambourine for?

This size is made for small hands: early years settings, primary classrooms, music groups and family music-making at home. The thumb hole helps children grip it securely, and the solid wood construction stands up to enthusiastic use. It works equally well tapped, shaken or passed around a circle in group rhythm games.

What is the difference between a headed and headless tambourine?

A headed tambourine (like this one) has a drum skin, so it can be tapped like a drum as well as shaken; a headless tambourine is a ring of jingles only. Headed models give younger children more ways to explore sound — see the headless 6 inch version if you only want the jingle sound.

What age is a 6 inch tambourine suitable for?

From age 3 upwards. The 6 inch size and thumb hole suit small hands in early years and infant classrooms; for older children and bigger sound, the 10 inch version is the better fit.

Is this tambourine durable enough for classroom use?

Yes — the solid wood frame and riveted (rather than glued) skin head are built for daily school use, which is exactly where most of these tambourines end up.
