The latest addition to Grover Pro's renowned tambourine line is the first headless tambourine to utilize the same hand-hammered jingles as their concert tambourines.

Founder and president Neil Grover explains the origin of the new tambourine:

"We heard that a number of top studio players in LA and Nashville were playing our tambourines on pop and country artists' hit records. What really shocked us was to learn that they were cutting the skin heads off the frame!"

After the shock wore off, Neil asked for input from in-demand studio musicians like Rich Redmond (Jason Aldean), Eric Darken (Jimmy Buffet), and Craig Kampf (LeAnn Rimes).

The result is the Studio Pro Headless Tambourine. Continues Neil:

"We learned that the tambourine shell material has a direct and fundamental impact on the sound characteristics of the instrument. Wood is so much warmer and richer than plastic."

According to Grover Pro Percussion's president, this instrument is ideal for studio recording, but it has the cut, articulation, and distinctive full-bodied sound, critical for live performances as well. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is $ 132.00
