Meinl Percussion CFJS2S-BK Foot Tambourine with Steel Jingles and MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) Frame, Black

The media could not be loaded.  I did a quick recording with my phone down at the beach (with lots of sea breezes and noise), which I think shows that this is a really bright sound and amazing for only the limited number of timbrels in place. You can basically get two effects from this. Playing with a toe tap, or playing with a heal tap. The strap is elastic so goes round most shoes or boots (mine are 9s). I would have preferred something on the underside of the strap to stop wear on the elastic and this would have also added a little more in the way of percussion of it had been a hard plastic or metal "buckle" etc.

Looks fun, bought it for a secret santa present for a musician friend. He thought it was a fun edition. The strap looks good, I didn't see any staples in it.

Great sound can be played whilst I am playing guitar or drum

I chose the compact version of the Meinl foot tambourine as I had researched the differences and understood that the compact version is constructed of hard plastic, and therefore more durable, rather than MDF as stated (probably a cut and paste error from the regular, non-compact version product description). Also that the elastic loop is sewn together through the plastic rather than held on with staples as in the non-compact version. Not sure about the difference in dimensions as this was not a significant issue for me. The other supposed difference was the compact is possibly louder but I haven't verified that. For the price difference of about £1 I think the compact is well with the extra as the build quality is fantastic. Soundwise, it is very bright and loud. Recommended.

Does exactly what it say on the tin!This little accessory is brilliant for busking.Adds another dimension to the performance and the strap hasnt worn or become loose.A good purchase.

Works perfectly well for what I wanted but is a bit tight across my (UK size 6) foot

is great and it sound loud, be careful to walk around the stage with this haha

Ok, but a 'tinny' sound compared with the LP Latin Percussion LP861190 Foot Tambourine.

Parfait pour s'accompagner à la guitare dans mon cas, tient bien au pied et s'entend très bien en jouant

Perfetto per fare un poco di musica con amici e divertirsi.

A great addition to any mini band with a hang to gospel songs. Strap it to your foot and you have an automatic toe tapping tambourine beat to push your song along. Motown would have loved this. The effect is invigorating.

Stylish and loud jingle.

I had ordered this for a friend who is a singer songwriter as a gift. He was happy to receive this and said this was a great product!
