Traditional finger castanets
The Meinl traditional finger castanets provide an authentic castanet sound in a compact design that can be played directly from the fingers. Designed for traditional rhythmic playing, they offer a simple way to add crisp, articulate accents to music and movement activities.
Their finger-mounted design makes them easy to hold and play, allowing players to produce rhythmic patterns by bringing the castanets together. They are a practical addition to percussion collections, particularly for schools and musicians exploring traditional Spanish and Latin percussion.

Finger-mounted design
Unlike handheld castanets, these models are designed to be played from the fingers. This gives the player direct control over the movement of the castanets and makes it possible to develop traditional playing techniques.
