Summary: If I had a dollar for every school that uses a headless rock tambourine for concert work I could retire a rich man A proper concert tambourine should always have a quality head The pros prefer natural skin but there are synthetics available also A head is necessary to play finger rolls and for proper articulation I find a good solid shell with a staggered double row of jingles sounds best While a 10 inch diameter tambourine seems to be the most popular for younger players elementary middle school I would recommend considering an eight inch model as it s easier for smaller hands to control Image Search Content inclusion
