How are they used?
Castanets are placed on the fingers of both hands (usually on the thumb and middle) by strings that hold them in place. To play them, the musician or dancer hits them together using finger and hand movements, producing fast, dry sounds that follow the rhythm of the music. In flamenco dance, castanets are a fundamental element, as they help to highlight the dance steps and keep the rhythm. In addition, they are used in some traditional dances from other regions of Spain.

The playing of castanets requires a lot of practice, as it involves coordination and dexterity in the movements of the fingers.
