This 10" Overture Tambourine utilizes a Remo Renaissance synthetic head, which resists annoying fluctuations in humidity typically disastrous for calf heads. The Remo Renaissance head effortlessly maintains the consistency of head tension, and quality of sound, for the lifespan of the tambourine. The body of our Overture Series tambourine is manufactured with a 10-ply maple shell. Complete with a durable finish, the maple shell produces a warm, round, consistent tone. All Overture Series tambourines are custom fit with brass jingles for a bright, universal sound and perfect for a general purpose B&O tambourine.
