Is a tambourine percussion definite pitch?

A tambourine is a percussion instrument that produces indefinite pitches. This means that the sounds produced by a tambourine do not have a specific or measurable pitch. The sound of a tambourine is characterized by its jingles or metal discs that jingle when the instrument is shaken or struck. These jingles produce a shimmering and rhythmic sound that accompanies various musical genres.

Unlike tuned percussion instruments like xylophones or glockenspiels, which produce specific pitches when struck, a tambourine does not generate well-defined tones or notes. Instead, it creates a range of sounds with different timbres and textures, depending on the materials used for the jingles and the manner in which the instrument is played.
