Really great piece for little money. It plays as it should. I'm a singer-songwriter and I use a tambourine with a cajon instead of a snare drum. I'm a person who likes to play everything myself. So it helps me make a rhythm and replaces a band. The only drawback is that it's easy to disassemble. Because I already carry so many things and I prepare them myself. I always leave it set up. I tried a Velcro tambourine from Ortega before. But it wasn't as loud. And you look better that way. Like a street player. Everything is ok in terms of materials. The price too. And the controls are comfortable after a few tests
