Even the least creative people still manage (tutorial) We play castanets — originally a Spanish instrument — but in a whole new way. My dad created a different playing technique, blending rhythm and melody. Now I’m sharing it with the world. 💙 | New Castanets / Kastaněty JINAK

Easy as 1 2 3 ☝️ Here’s a quick tutorial on how to play ruffs on the castanet machine with a “rolling fingers” technique. We’re playing this on one of our Overture Castanet Machines. The tension adjustment knob allows the distance between the cups to be fine tuned–very helpful when you want to find the sweet spot for achieving this roll. This triplet could be referred to as a triple “Glope’” and adding an additional note to this triplet would make it a “Caretilla” or a 4-stroke-ruff if you will.

She bites people who don’t like music. We’re playing castanets, but in a way that’s not typical. My dad invented this technique—it’s not a new instrument, but a new way of playing. As his daughter, I decided to share this technique and teach others too. 💙 Five years ago, I was convinced I’d never learn to play any musical instrument because I just didn’t have the patience. But somehow, this one felt natural. I’m endlessly grateful for that, because it’s given me a way to connect with the music

🇬🇧 When my dad taught me to play castanets, for a long time, it was just the two of us playing this way—now there are around 700 of us. Our castanet course is open until June 30th, both in English and Czech 💙 We’d love to welcome you to the family! 🥰 🇨🇿 Když mě táta naučil hrát na kastaněty, dlouho jsme byli jenom my dva, co jsme takhle hráli – teď je nás okolo 700. Náš kurz na kastaněty bude přístupný do 30. 6., a to jak v angličtině, tak v češtině 💙 Rádi vás uvítáme v rodině! 🥰 | New C
