LP 311H One Handed Triangle

Wow! This innovative instrument allows one percussionist to perform the function of two! Anything that can be done on a regular triangle with two hands, can be done with only one hand on this one. However, be prepared to spend some time learning how to play the instrument, as the technique is quite different from a traditional triangle. I.e. the position and the movement is more like that of a shaker.

I am using this instrument for Brazilian styles (samba, forró, baião etc.) in which there would traditionally be on musician dedicated just to playing the triangle. To be able to play the surdo/zabumba rhythm simultaneously, I have mounted a hand surdo (rebolo) on a drum rack (together with some other percussion instruments). Floor tom legs would also do the job. Also, I have used the triangle together with a cajon which is an excellent combination. It sounds great and requires no special setup.
