This Stagg Ergonomic tambourine is the BEST for your money: Long-lasting, comfortable, versatile, durable and the best sounding on stage as well as in the studio. Eight years of constant use and I finally need to get a new one. All the other steel jingle tambourines that I've heard sound too cheap and tinny, but this one has a nice crisp, full sound and tone. I highly recommend this model to anyone.
