Description

IMPORTANT: The covers always come different because the fabrics, the sky leather and the colouring change every season. The photos you see are just some of the designs we have had in store and that we show as an example. Please consult us ( at info@tamaraflamenco.com) before you buy. We will send you photos of the ones we have at the moment so you can see if they are to your liking.

The Elite castanets case is the highest range model. Ideal to prolong the life of your castanets and prevent them scratches and unwanted breaks. Its size is suitable for any type and size of castanet. Completely handcrafted. Its exterior in synthetic leather gives it great durability and its interior in synthetic sheepskin gives a maximum protection against  drops and unwanted hits. The Elite case include metal safety locks to assure the closure of your castanets case.

 
Size guide

In a general way we can resume castanets sizes like:

- Size 3: kids

- Size 4: kids and women with small hands.

- Size 5: most of women or men with small hands

- Size 7: generally recommended for men.


Spanish castanets size it is a quite personal decision and there is really not a defined way to chose the perfect size. As orientation we can chose our "correct" size depending on our hands measures:

Measuring from point A to B we can say that:

Less than 7 cm-> Size 3
Between 7 & 8.5 cm -> Sizes 4 y 5
more than 8,5 cm ->Size 7

From 7 sounds that can produce a castanet we will take 3: TA-RRI-PI and 1 called "posticeo" (fig.4) that produce the sound PAM.

FigA: thumb position to use the spanish castanets

Fig B: Sounds times.
Sound PI - hit with the right hand.
Sound TA - hit with the left hand
Sound RRI - when the right fingers rub the right castanet.

"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).
