Play your top quality castanets and display your top skill!

This collection of Castanuelas del Sur castanets aims at the top professional category of Flamenco dancers.  They are all made of 80% compressed sapwood slices impregnated with 20% retin, using traditional methods backed by the superb know-how of four generations of expert, castanet craftsmen.

Thanks to their composition and top quality of the materials they are crafted from, the castanets feature the following:

• Outstanding durability
• Outstanding resilience (they do not crack or break)
• Imperviousness to the wear and tear of the friction they produce
• Superior timbre intensity and quality, uninfluenced by sudden changes in temperature

This particular model is the masterpiece of Juan Vela and the epitome of the real sound of Flamenco.  They have been crafter with the passion and dedication of the very founder of the "Castañuelas del Sur" company who is considered a pioneer in the craft of handmade castanets.

This model’s specifications have taken into account even the most exacting of your demands.  It is incredibly light, ergonomic (small-eared).  Once you’ve tried it you won’t be willing to exchange its soft hoarseness and clear sound for anything in the world.

Capricho is renowned for its timbre which changes to fit your needs.  It produces precisely they sound you’re going for and fits your individual needs whether you’re a musician, an artist, or a dancer.

With every purchase of our castanets we’ll make you a GIFT of a deluxe carrying leather pouch (shaped like a purse with a metal clasp) to store them in: every time you take them out they will be as good as new.

At Flamencista we collaborate with Juan Vela and Castañuelas del Sur and undertake to handcraft castanets exclusively for you.

You select intensity and frequency.

We create the unsurpassed quality of sound you’re looking for!
