Sound PI - hit with the right hand.

"Sevillanas touch"- when starting Sevillana dance we shoud do an starting beat:

First: complete beat like TA-RRI-TA-PAM-PAM (steps 1-5) and later and incomplet one with TA-RRI-TA-PI-TA sounds (steps 6 to 10).

Later we continue with the traditional: RRI-TA-RRI-TA-PI-TA-RRI-TA-RRI-TA-PI-TA (steps 11-16).



After that, we play: RRI-TA-RRI-TA-PI-TA-RRI-TA-RRI-TA-PI-TA (steps 11 to 16).

Question: 

Bonjour, Je dois acheter des castagnettes pour danser les Sévillanes mais j'hésite entre le modèle Boléro n04 filigrana et le modèle Boléro n°5 Filigrana. Que me conseillez-vous ? Quelle est la différence entre les 2 ? Merci.

Answer: 

Bonjour


La différence entre ces deux modèles est la taille. Le numéro 4 est la taille d'un enfant et le numéro 5 est la taille d'un adulte. Sinon, les deux modèles sont les mêmes.


Cordialement
