Latvian percussion instrument
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trīdeksnis (also known as trejdeksnis, trīdēkslis, trīdēksnis, strīdēkslis etc.)[1] is a Latvian percussion instrument. It consists of a short wooden handle running through three increasing width tiers of flat horizontal discs, with small triangular metal rattles hanging off the edges of the disks. The trīdeksnis is used by shaking it like a rattle or hitting the handle against the palm, causing metal discs to jingle.[2]
