The frame drum is a single frame instrument without rattles. It is played in many different ways around the world. Glen Vélez, a percussionist of recognized prestige, integrating techniques collected in very diverse cultures, developed a way of playing with which a high degree of virtuosity is achieved. All these tambourines are manufactured by Victor Barral, a manufacturer recognized internationally for his good work and his STI tensioner system, with a registered patent. It is a concept in tensioning mechanisms for percussion instruments that manages to house the tensioners inside the wooden ring. This allows the tensioners to remain hidden from view, thus facilitating their handling as they do not disturb when playing. Acting on these tensioners with a simple Allen key you can correct the head tension in an instant.
