These are authentic flamenco-style castanets officially recognized by the Japan Castanet Association. By adopting fibrar resin, we have achieved a more affordable price while ensuring higher durability than conventional wooden or plastic castanets. For their development, we enlisted Mr. Yuji Shinkai, a professional castanet player and chairman of the Japan Castanet Association, as an advisor. We pursued a quality that can handle advanced performances, resulting in a finish that is ideal for individual use in orchestras and wind ensembles, school equipment, as well as for flamenco dancers and enthusiasts. They are affectionately nicknamed "Tellina" (Cherry Blossom). Ballet Flamenco Dance Castanets Thank you for viewing. They have been used a few times.
