Thank you for the advice, M. Ted, but I have become fascinated by how difficult it is to describe this in a way that someone who hasn't had them before can make sense. The picture on the web site only makes sense if you know what is happening in 3-D, otherwise it is useless. It is a good reminder, not a good tool!


If I get what you are saying, Liz, there is a loop on the outside of both castanets, one one side and one on the other when both castanets are pressed tightly together. You stick the thumb through both loops, thus bringing the castenets, still tight together, up against the inside body of the thumb. Yes? yours, Peter T.
