0 a musical instrument with a wooden ring and small metal discs loosely fixed to it which you play by shaking or hitting -- тамбурин
It was a big surprise to suddenly hear the tambourine.
For one, the music's volume is not as loud, given the frequent use of simple acoustic instruments such as the tambourine.
Vernacular instruments (acoustic guitar and tambourine) are accompanied by 'classical' strings and a 'vernacular' brass band.
The instruments they chose were kinesthetically pleasing and novel; it was not until 13 minutes into the improvisation that they used the tambourine (a more familiar instrument).
The final cadence, anticipated by the accidental-made-purposeful dropping of the tambourine, seemed a bit curious to the performers and elicited reactions like 'cadences are fun' and 'they're sudden sometimes'.
They liked good singing, with a few hallelujahs thrown in, and a few tambourine bands went down well.
Tambourines in rock music are most often headless, a ring with jangles but no skin.
Besides piano, other instruments were sometimes used in the studio, including bass drum, tambourine and various electronic keyboards.
