Im gonna talk to you today about the triangle. Now the triangle is, alot of people dont know this but its named after a very popular geometric shape called the triangle and all this is, is a steel rod that's been bent twice to form that three sided shape we call the triangle and it's always open on one end because in order for the sound to resonate it's got to be open otherwise you'd get a real muted, mufilled sound. And there's basically three parts to the triangle as an instrument theres the triangle itself, there's the holder which what I have is a wooden bead that's been run through with a nylon cord to hold the triangle up. And the third part the hammer or the striker or the beater or the metal stick that you hit it with. Whatever term you want to use for that those are the three parts. Holding the triangle the triangle itself which is gonna produce the tone and the hammer that helps you with that.
