The patented tambourine Bernhard Kolberg developed from 1995 to 1996 is full of new ideas and various possibilities. Practical innovation based on close contact with musicians and performance practice as well as modern technology and accurate workmanship are the prerequisites for a first class tambourine with ideal playing characteristics and the possibility to create your individual sound spectrum of the highest quality. In addition to the "Starter" tambourine we designed for use in schools and musical societies, there is this second series of tambourines: "Mix", with a fixed, balanced sound mix. We recommend our top models with changeable jingles for flexible and individual sound creation.

Sound

The bronze jingles deliver a full, sonorous sound while the chrome jingles respond with a bright and gentle sound when played delicately, making the tambourine suitable for universal use depending on playing technique and required application and providing an assertive yet subtle sound mix.

Natural head with special head treatment

• Transparent premium-quality calf heads (Kalfo):
  The head is glued directly to the shell by means of a special manufacturing process, thus avoiding plastic stripping or the hindrance of clips and tacks.
• Special head treatment:
  The edge of the head in its entire circumference is treated with a particular compound that does away with the need to wet the thumb for rolls. Directly across from the grip the head treatment compound is applied somewhat wider, providing a larger friction surface.

Shell

• The shell is made from a single piece of multi-glued plies of European common beech
• Absolute stability and light weight guarantee play without fatigue

Ergonomically formed grip:

For very good control of play

To comfortable hold and dampen the instrument

So that the instrument can be picked up quickly and noiselessly with just one hand
