Grover Pro Spanish Silver Tambourine 10" Single Row Fluted Jingles – T1/SS

The Grover Pro T1/SS Spanish Silver Tambourine is a 10" single-row concert tambourine designed for players who want a more rustic, characterful sound than a standard modern orchestral tambourine. It sits in Grover’s Projection-Plus range and is built around a lightweight ash shell, a textured natural skin head, and 12 pairs of hand-fluted silver jingles for a focused, gritty, folk-like voice.

This model is based on the traditional Spanish, Basque, or “Gypsy” tambourine concept, where the fluted jingles help control resonance while adding richness and bite to the sound. The result is a tambourine that works especially well when a piece calls for a more earthy, lively colour rather than an overly polished orchestral tone.

Grover’s design uses three wide jingle channels instead of individual slots, with four pairs of jingles in each channel, helping create a distinctive response and feel. The slightly thicker textured skin head also helps dampen excess head ring while giving players a more comfortable surface for finger rolls.

Why Choose This Tambourine?

The T1/SS is a strong choice for percussionists who need a tambourine with more personality and less of the smooth, refined character found in many modern orchestral models. Its fluted silver jingles give it a more controlled decay and a sound that feels more traditional, direct, and colourful.

It is particularly well suited to repertoire that benefits from a Spanish or rustic tambourine sound. Grover specifically highlights works such as La Vida Breve, España, and Rapsodie Espagnole, making this a useful specialist option for orchestral players, advanced students, conservatoires, and percussion departments building a broader colour palette.

Because it is lightweight and designed for easy handling, it also makes sense for players who want quicker response and more agility in the hand without losing a professional build standard.
