Percussion Instruments → Castanets
Castanets are percussion instruments of indefinite pitch that are either clicked rhythmically or sounded in a sustained roll. In Europe the castanets are primarily a dance instrument associated with flamenco in Spain. Orchestral castanets are attached to a handle. The player shakes the handle, striking the shells on the free hand.
