Latin Percussion LP175 Cyclops Mounted Tambourine, Brass, Black
The LP175 is the brass-jingle version of the mountable Cyclops: the same black frame with rounded edges and the same eye-bolt for a 3/8-inch rod, but a noticeably warmer sound that still cuts.
What sets it apart
- Brass jingles: warm yet cutting
- Compact frame that stands up to sticks
- Patented LP pinning
- Forged eye-bolt for a 3/8 in. rod
Same tambourine, different metal
On a tambourine, the jingle metal sets the character. The steel Cyclops (LP160) is loud and bright; this brass LP175 keeps its bite but rounds off the top end. In a mix already full of cymbals, that warmer voice often sits better.
The frame is unchanged: compact, formulated to take stick hits, with rounded edges that widen the striking area. It measures 2.6 x 10 x 8 in. and goes on any 3/8-inch rod with the forged eye-bolt.
