Superior Workmanship Materials,
And Design

Only the finest materials and workmanship go into these concert-quality imported castanets.

Rick black grenadillo. Lustrious rosewood. And the centuries-old hispanic craftsmanship that demands and draws from these rare woods the best musical tone each has to offer.

Add to this old world artistry and exclusive handle design by Frank Epstein, and all the mastery of crisp, pure articulation is brought within the reach of every orchestra's percussionists.

Now in Two Distinctive Woods and Three Pitch Ranges
Grenadillo castanets are available in three sizes: #5 (small), #6 (medium), and #7 (large). Castanets sized #5 produce a high, bright, cutting sound. Those in the #6 range lower in pitch, with more mellowness to their tone. The large #7 instruments have a rich low pitch and prove especially useful in both very soft and very loud passages. Rosewood castanets are available in the large range and are identified as #7R.

Priced somewhat lower than our other castanets, rosewood represents a less expensive alternative, when the total excellence of grenadillo is not required.

All castanets come with the exclusive Frank Epstein handle permanently moounted for maximum control, rhythmic articulation, and beautiful tone.

""Your castanets are the finest . . . A step forward in the percussion field."
