High-Grade Tambourine – 8″ with 12 Brass Bells

This is the denser-jingle 8″ tambourine our buyers asked for after the standard six-bell set: the same beech plywood shell, the same 55 mm frame and the same hide-feel composite head as the high-grade 6″/8″/10″ line, but with a double row of 12 brass bells for a warmer, fuller shimmer. It ships under two order codes — 010810 and 010811 — for the same model, so either reference routes to the same production spec.

Key Specifications

Twelve Brass Bells: What the Density Buys

Six bells per row is the classroom standard; twelve in a double row changes the instrument in three ways buyers can hear immediately:

• More shimmer per shake. The double row sustains the jingle tail, so a single wrist shake covers a rest instead of dying in one beat — the difference between marking rhythm and carrying it.
• A warmer voice. Brass is softer and rounder in attack than stainless steel; at twelve bells the cluster reads as a wash rather than a rattle, which is why worship and folk-programme buyers specify it.
• The same shell. Nothing else changes: the beech plywood frame, PU paint, chamfered bearing edge, finger hole and composite head are identical to the standard 8″ model, so this drops into an existing class set without looking or feeling foreign.

For buyers who want density in stainless instead of brass, the same shell is built as the 10″ with 16 stainless bells (011006) and 12″ with 20 stainless bells (011206).

Product Highlights

Applications

Product Positioning

This model is the mid-size density option of the high-grade beech family. It sits beside the standard 6″/8″/10″ set (010601 / 010801 / 011001) and above the poplar standard line, and it shares the shell, head and finish with both — only the bell set changes. For stainless density in larger diameters, see the 10″ / 12″ denser models (011006 / 011206); for a leather-look head, see the birch tambourine line (010605 / 010805 / 011007).

It shares the production line with our own consumer brand Musicube — the same instrument family already selling on the US retail market under the Musicube name.

Quality & Manufacturing

The shell is built from sturdy laminated beech plywood with a chamfered bearing edge and finished in PU paint; the composite head is tensioned and bound in the same workshop. The twelve-bell brass set is seated and checked as a complete row pair before packing, so the two rows arrive matched in pitch and volume. Where applicable, product testing and compliance documentation are reviewed according to the target market and agreed product requirements — tell us your destination market and we will confirm what applies to your order.

OEM / ODM: Make It Yours

Once the instrument is proven, the next question is how it starts carrying your brand:

• Logo: print on the head or the shell, from low trial quantities.
• Bell metal: brass as standard; stainless steel sets in the same double-row layout on request.
• Colors: natural beech is the default — volume orders can match your Pantone on the head binding or the shell.
• Packaging: the full-color box takes your artwork natively — no sleeve needed.
• Set building: mixed 6″/8″/10″/12″ cartons for classroom kits, barcoded per SKU.
• Documentation: where applicable, product testing and compliance documentation are reviewed according to the target market and agreed product requirements.
