Pair of ebony castanets. 2 5/8 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches long (6.75 x 9 cm). Two corded clam-shaped wooden clappers of ebony, played in the palm of the hand. To play, hang them from your thumb so they rest in the palm of your hand. Then drum your fingers on the shell. We do not recommend them for beginners. Each set has a (M) male and (F) female castanet.

Rating : Castanets are all that I expected these to be!! - Ana M. Medina, Jul 23, 2008
I bought these castanets for a costume, and really like the crisp sound these create. Check out videos on you tube and ivillage.com to pick up the basics on how to play these castanets!!
Rating : Great!! - Michael Caiafa, Mar 20, 2008
I am no expert on Castanets but I can see the set is well made.
How they work or how to work them is an entirely different story.
I have no idea how to make them click.
Need a teacher to instruct and castanet players are hard to find.
Have fun..
