With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great Tambourine
I play hand percussion at my church. I had a hand tambourine with nickel jingles, but wanted something better, and not so harsh. This has really fit the bill. The brass jingles have a very warm sound, you have to hear it to really appreciate it. The other musicians like the sound, especially the drummer and guitarists. The mount works great, I can play the tambourine with a stick or with my hand or snatch it out of the stand if I want to play it like a regular tambourine which is a real plus. You will need to buy another piece of hardware to mount it to a cymbal stand. I bought a Ludwig cowbell mount and that worked fine. Some tom-tom holders will work.
The mutes on the jingles are a good idea, but the design is not fully executed. If you mute the jingles, it will only last for one song and then you will have to adjust them again.
I have seen other reviews on other sites about this tambourine, and they have been mixed, some say its not sturdy enough. Seriously...

Fine instrument.
I wanted a tambourine that was not a bright sounding as most are. This fit the bill just fine. I mounted it to a cymbal stand, which required an additional piece of mounting hardware, so I can either hit it like a srum or remove the tambourine and play it as one is normally played. The "tuning" system is interesting, but I haven't decided how I want to use it yet.
Brass is Better!
The Pearl tambourine has a slightly smaller diameter than some other tambourine, which makes it easier to play for long durations at a fast tempo. The grip is well designed too. I don't use the adjustable jingles, which is just a tight fitting piece of plastic that reduces the travel of the jingles. Can we not control our own volume as musicians? The most important part of this tambourine is the brass jingles. Brass has a lower, more complex, longer decay than steel. I liked the steel Pearl tambourine until I shook the brass model. Yeah, I know it's personal preference, but since I only wanted to buy one I choose the brass model.
