Triangles

A triangle is a small metal percussion instrument with a bright, cutting chime that carries well in a school ensemble, orchestra or simple rhythmic accompaniment. When choosing one, focus mainly on frame size, because a smaller triangle sounds shorter and sharper, while a larger model adds longer sustain and a fuller tone. The beater and hanging method also matter, so the instrument can resonate freely and be muted easily by hand. In this narrow category, it makes sense to choose a practical model by required volume, player age and use in school, orchestra or an acoustic band.
