Where a large triangle fills space, this one punctuates it, which is why it turns up in Latin percussion setups, pop sessions and any part where the triangle has to articulate sixteenths without smearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall, bright, and quick enough to play fast patterns cleanly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTriangle size drives the pitch and the length of the decay. At 4 inches the fundamental is high and the tail is short, so consecutive strokes stay separate instead of blurring into a wash. That is exactly what you want for the driving triangle patterns in Brazilian forro, for Latin percussion setups, and for pop and country parts where the triangle is a rhythmic voice rather than a colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminum keeps the tone warmer and less piercing than steel, which matters more at small sizes where a bright metal can turn shrill. Suspend it from a clip or line so the body rings freely rather than gripping the bar. Many forro players hold the top bar directly and damp with the fingers to articulate open and closed notes, which is a technique this size handles well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTycoon Percussion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRI-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstrument type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriangle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCharacter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright attack, short decay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlaying method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuspended or held, struck with a beater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Size Triangle Should I Buy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize sets the pitch and the length of the decay. Small triangles around 4 to 6 inches are bright and quick, which suits fast patterns and Latin work. Larger triangles at 8 to 10 inches have a lower fundamental and a much longer sustain, which suits concert rolls and sustained passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is the TRI-4 For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLatin and Brazilian percussionists, forro players, pop and country session players, school percussion programs, and anyone who needs a triangle that articulates fast patterns without a lingering tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Do You Get a Clean Triangle Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuspend the triangle from a clip or line so the metal rings freely. Strike near a corner for a darker tone and toward the middle of a side for a brighter one. For forro patterns, hold the top bar and damp with the fingers to alternate open and closed notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Tycoon Percussion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTycoon Percussion has built hand percussion in Thailand since 1985, using regional hardwoods and hand assembly across a range that runs from student cajons to professional congas and timbales. The company supplies school programs, working percussionists and studio players, and the hand percussion line is priced to be bought and played rather than admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is this triangle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the 4 inch model, the smallest in Tycoon's aluminum triangle range. It has the highest pitch and the shortest decay of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a small triangle loud enough for a band?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 4 inches the triangle is bright and cuts well in its own frequency range, but it has less body than a larger one. For concert and orchestral work where the part needs a long ring, choose an 8 or 10 inch triangle instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it include a beater and clip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTriangle beaters and holders vary by player preference and are commonly bought separately.
