context_page_description: The tambourine is a common percussion instrument.
  The tambourine looks like a small hand-held drum. But in addition to the skin there are also small pairs of jingles - like tiny cymbals - in slots around the frame. However, tambourines come in many types. Some are made without a skin, particularly for use in schools. The tambourine came to Europe through the Arabs who brought it to Italy and Spain.
