Castanets are a percussion instrument (idiophone), used in Kalo, Moorish, Ottoman, ancient Roman, Italian, Spanish, Sephardic, Swiss, and Portuguese
music. The instrument consists of a pair of concave shells joined on
one edge by a string. They are held in the hand and used to produce
clicks for rhythmic accents or a ripping or rattling sound consisting of
a rapid series of clicks. They are traditionally made of hardwood
(chestnut; Spanish: castaña), although fibreglass is becoming increasingly popular.
