The castanets (also called clappers) are a percussion instrument made up of two concave pieces of wood, fiberglass, or fabric, connected by a cord. They are played by holding them with the thumbs and striking them with the fingers, producing a dry and rhythmic sound that accompanies flamenco dancing, the jota, and other Spanish dances.
Professional castanets are made from granadilla wood (the most valued for its warm sound and projection) or fiberglass (more durable and with a brighter sound). For beginners, fabric or beginner castanets offer an economical option to learn the basic technique. Sizes range from 2 (children) to 10 (large hands), with sizes 6-7 being the most common for adult women and 8-9 for men.
