The castanets which are classified in this section of percussion instruments are professional castanets. If you are looking for a version of this instrument for musical initiation, please refer to the section Musical Initiation / Orff.
Castanets are a percussion instrument consisting of two pieces of wood in the shape of a deep dish, which are perforated and decorated with a ribbon that is placed around the thumb. Currently there are also castanets made of plastic material.
The instrument owes its name to the fact that it is traditionally made of chestnut wood and shaped like a chestnut. They produce dry, click-type sounds that let you make rhythmic accents, or series of quick clicks. They are widely used in flamenco. They are very ancient instruments, already known in the time of the Phoenicians for more than 3000 years.
