1.0 out of 5 stars Complete Waste of Money, November 26, 2005

I bought these castanets for a flamenco class and am very disappointed. The castanet string included with these is an ineffective synthetic which does NOT work all and is not recommended for playing.

I have to buy a new pair, and the return policy of the seller is ridiculous. Do NOT NOT NOT buy these castanets. They are terrible and unplayable.

Having said that, I think these were the cheapest ones I saw advertised, so once again I learn the hard way that "You get what you pay for."

I'm a flamenco dancer and use castanets a lot. I throught I could use these temporarily before I got the good (and expensive) ones, but it's better to just save up for a good pair. I couldn't even use them, and eventually I just tossed them.
