Installation
Replacing a tambourine head typically involves removing the worn skin from the frame and securing the new head using the instrument’s existing tensioning system. Depending on your specific tambourine model, this may involve:
- Tacking/Nailing: For traditional frame drums, the head is stretched tightly across the frame and secured around the perimeter.
- Tension Hoops: For modern tambourines, the head is placed over the shell and locked in place with a metal or plastic hoop.
Note: Ensure the head is centered and tensioned evenly to avoid warping the frame or creating “dead spots” in the sound.
Compatibility
This replacement head is designed for tambourines and frame drums with a diameter of approximately 10.25 inches. Please verify your instrument’s frame measurements before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
