I’ve always heard that beryllium copper makes a good triangle too but I cannot find a single example on all of the internet. Kind of weird that almost all references to the alloy note the use in triangles as well as tambourines but I can’t substantiate that with an actual example I can purchase.

Which jingles do you think gets a warmer sound, beryllium copper or phosphorus bronze?

[@markkuliini]

Hi there. I don't have a tambourine that has only bronze jingles, do I can't do direct comparison. But I'm quite used to comparing those materials when it comes to snare drums, and there I find bronze and copper mostly having a sustain difference. Bronze might feel brighter since it's high overtones sustain longer, and copper warmer for opposite reasons. But it's hard to give definitive answer. But I really do feel my copper Grover being really warm sounding.

@@alexandrabrownfranco9388 We would say that Phosphor Bronze is a little "darker", and preferred in Europe.
