IQ Plus Natural Castanet - 2pk

Castanets are a percussion instrument with a long history in Roman, Latin American and Spanish cultures. They were popularized and most often used by Flamenco dancers; castanet performances usually included pairs of the shell-like instruments being played together. The rhythmic clacking sounds created by each pair and the dancer's movements along to the clicks and snaps made watching of these performances very delightful.

IQ Plus Castanets are excellent instruments for use by children in a classroom environment to contribute to a musical situation, especially involving rhythm and dance.
