Product Description
What's triangle percussion instrument? The triangle is a musical instrument in the percussion family, and is classified as an idiophone in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system. Triangles are made from a variety of metals including aluminum, beryllium copper, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. The metal is bent into a triangle shape with one open end. The instrument is usually held by a loop of some form of thread or wire at the top curve. The triangle has a triangular shape, which is why it is named a "triangle". The triangle is typically suspended from a triangle clip that suspends the triangle so that it is free to vibrate. When the instrument is played with one beater, the hand that holds the triangle clip can also be used to damp or slightly modify the sound. The triangle is usually struck with a metal beater, giving a high-pitched, ringing tone. For complex, rapid rhythms, the instrument may be suspended from a stand, and played with two beaters, although this makes it more difficult to control. How to use triangle instrument? Hold the triangle by the string or handle at the top or hang it on the triangle holder. Use a triangle striker to play the instrument. Gently tap the triangle with the striker near one of the corners. Experiment with different spots to produce different sounds. Or hit the top and bottom sides, or the two sides of the triangle, with an even but rapid back and forth motion. Vary the force and speed of your strikes to create different tones and dynamics. For "full" sound, make sure the beater is at a forty-five degree angle when it hits the triangle. How to hold the triangle securely? Make sure that the triangle is not in danger of falling while being played. If you are holding it with a string, keep your fingers in an "O" shape, allowing the string and triangle move freely. Alternately, use a triangle holder. A triangle holder is a wooden or metal device that you can use to suspend the triangle. Do not touch the hanging triangle. Whether you use a triangle holder or just your hand, make sure none of your skin is touching the metal of the triangle. Contact between the triangle and your skin interferes and dampens the sound.
