Frequently Asked Questions
How does the LP188 attach to your foot?
It uses an elastic band that stretches over your shoe or bare foot, holding the tambourine securely in place so the nickel jingles sound with each tap or stomp.
What do the nickel-plated jingles sound like compared to brass or steel?
Nickel jingles produce a bright, crisp tone with moderate sustain, sitting between the warmth of brass and the sharpness of steel, which helps them cut through in a live mix without being harsh.
Is the LP188 comfortable to wear during a full set?
The ABS plastic body is lightweight and the elastic band is designed for extended wear, though players with larger shoes may find the elastic band fits tightly.
Can you adjust the volume or number of jingles on this tambourine?
No, the jingle configuration is fixed. Volume is controlled by how hard and how often you strike your foot.
