brands?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"We have 3 brands to differentiate our catalogue\\u2019s distinct ranges. They are all made in our Sevilla factory. We\\u2019ll explain each one of them:<br>Hern\\u00e1ndez: this is the brand used for the beginner (Amateur) and semiprofessional (Concert) ranges.<br>Casta\\u00f1uelas del Sur: includes the vast majority of handmade castanets, like the Professional and Special ranges.<br>Juan Vela Sevilla: this brand is on all of our Capricho and Special Jota range. They have this name because it is our master craftsman Juan Vela who invented and created this model more than 20 years ago.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I choose my ideal castanet size?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Choosing the ideal castanet size is a very personal choice, but to help you decide, we will show you the following illustration.<br>You should measure your hand from point A to point B. Once you have the measurements, you can compare them to the following image:<br><br>If you wish, you can access our section\\u00a0<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/castanuelasdelsur.com\\\/como-elegir-talla-de-castanuelas\\\/\\\">Choose your castanet size<\\\/a>\\u00a0where you can enter the measurements in our calculator to know which size best adjusts to your hand according to the model.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which castanet goes on the right hand?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In the area where we put the thumb for adjustment, we can see that it has a mark or stripe and the other does not. The castanet that has the mark is the right (female or carretilla) and the one that doesn\\u2019t have the mark is the left (male or golpeo). In the case of left-handed people it is the opposite.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it true that the castanets need to be \\u201cwarm\\u201d?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"For so many years we have been accustomed to hearing this question and we don\\u2019t stop to think if it\\u2019s real or not and why. It is a question that people ask us a lot.<br>The castanet is not better because we feel they are \\u201cwarm\\u201d in our hands, since it is not made of natural wood, it is made of synthetic materials, so the temperature it\\u2019s at doesn\\u2019t contribute anything to the castanet, it isn\\u2019t a benefit or a damage. It will sound the same at any temperature. Distinct from everything else, is the fact that the feel of the castanets in our hands is more pleasant when they are \\u201cwarm\\u201d than when they are cold. The fact that our castanets come with a case lined with fleece is not so that they are \\u201cwarm\\u201d, it is simply because if they fall while they are in the case, the fleece will cushion their fall.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How can I clean my castanets?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"They can only be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth after each use. Clean both inside and out. Do not use liquids nor soaps or the castanet could decay.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you put on castanets?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"1. <strong>Two types of castanets:<\\\/strong>\\u00a0Depending on if they are flamenco or Spanish dance and jota castanets, they are put on the thumb or the middle finger. In the first case they are put on the thumb and the second, on the middle finger.<br>2. <strong>Identify each castanet<\\\/strong>: one of the castanets will have a higher-pitched sound and the other a deeper sound, which are usually known as female and male, respectively. The \\u201cfemale\\u201d castanet is put on the right hand and the \\u201cmale\\u201d castanet on the left.<br>3. <strong>Put the string on the thumb or middle finger<\\\/strong>: the castanets are divided in two parts that are held together by a string. The thumb or middle finger (as appropriate) should be inserted into the strings so that it is on the bottom part and the base of the thumb or middle finger. The loop should rest on the knuckles.<br>4. <strong>Adjust the castanets<\\\/strong>: Once the strings are on the thumbs, adjust the pressure with the loop of the string, so that they aren\\u2019t too loose. Do some sound checks to make sure they are perfectly placed.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What sound is best for me?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In the section where we explain the different materials that we work with, we explain the sound that each material offers.<br>The choice of sound is very personal, since it doesn\\u2019t only depend on the use that we are going to make of each castanet, but it also depends on our tapping, that is, how loudly or gently we play.<br>Our recommendation is that if we have a gentle tapping, we choose the material that offers a medium sound like grained fibre or materials that give a high-pitched and bright sound such as Glass or Granadillo wood. In this way, we won\\u2019t need to play loudly to make them sound, their high-pitched sound will help us to not have to strain too much if we don\\u2019t have very much strength in our hands\\u2026.they will do the hard work.<br>If we have strong tapping, we can play any material, they will all be fine; but it is true that the materials that give us a high-pitched sound will sound too loud; so we recommend materials that give us deep sounds, like Pressed Fabric. They will sound more beautifully and with a cleaner and more pleasant nuance.<br>But as we always say, the customer has the final word. It is them that must feel good about the chosen material and sound, since sometimes it is the castanet that chooses the person.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long is it recommended to practice?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"We recommend practicing for half an hour, 5 days a week.<br>This exercise is also useful to exercise our hands and fingers and make our forearms stronger. So\\u2026 practice!\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between a normal soundbox and a double soundbox?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The difference is in the sound, with the normal sounbox, a medium sound is achieved, while with a double soundbox, a deeper nuanced sound is achieved.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between different castanet materials?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<strong>Pressed cotton:<\\\/strong> produces the harshest sound, it is ideal to play in confined spaces, alone, or as an accompaniment to a musical instrument.

In this way, we won\u2019t need to play loudly to make them sound, their high-pitched sound will help us to not have to strain too much if we don\u2019t have very much strength in our hands\u2026.they will do the hard work.<br>If we have strong tapping, we can play any material, they will all be fine; but it is true that the materials that give us a high-pitched sound will sound too loud; so we recommend materials that give us deep sounds, like Pressed Fabric. They will sound more beautifully and with a cleaner and more pleasant nuance.<br>But as we always say, the customer has the final word. It is them that must feel good about the chosen material and sound, since sometimes it is the castanet that chooses the person.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-0eecac9e \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\">How long is it recommended to practice?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>We recommend practicing for half an hour, 5 days a week.<br>This exercise is also useful to exercise our hands and fingers and make our forearms stronger.

It is a question that people ask us a lot.<br>The castanet is not better because we feel they are \\u201cwarm\\u201d in our hands, since it is not made of natural wood, it is made of synthetic materials, so the temperature it\\u2019s at doesn\\u2019t contribute anything to the castanet, it isn\\u2019t a benefit or a damage. It will sound the same at any temperature. Distinct from everything else, is the fact that the feel of the castanets in our hands is more pleasant when they are \\u201cwarm\\u201d than when they are cold. The fact that our castanets come with a case lined with fleece is not so that they are \\u201cwarm\\u201d, it is simply because if they fall while they are in the case, the fleece will cushion their fall.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How can I clean my castanets?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"They can only be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth after each use.

The thumb or middle finger (as appropriate) should be inserted into the strings so that it is on the bottom part and the base of the thumb or middle finger. The loop should rest on the knuckles.<br>4. <strong>Adjust the castanets<\\\/strong>: Once the strings are on the thumbs, adjust the pressure with the loop of the string, so that they aren\\u2019t too loose.

In this way, we won\\u2019t need to play loudly to make them sound, their high-pitched sound will help us to not have to strain too much if we don\\u2019t have very much strength in our hands\\u2026.they will do the hard work.<br>If we have strong tapping, we can play any material, they will all be fine; but it is true that the materials that give us a high-pitched sound will sound too loud; so we recommend materials that give us deep sounds, like Pressed Fabric. They will sound more beautifully and with a cleaner and more pleasant nuance.<br>But as we always say, the customer has the final word.

In this way, we won\u2019t need to play loudly to make them sound, their high-pitched sound will help us to not have to strain too much if we don\u2019t have very much strength in our hands\u2026.they will do the hard work.<br>If we have strong tapping, we can play any material, they will all be fine; but it is true that the materials that give us a high-pitched sound will sound too loud; so we recommend materials that give us deep sounds, like Pressed Fabric. They will sound more beautifully and with a cleaner and more pleasant nuance.<br>But as we always say, the customer has the final word.
