Help Identifying an Instrument
 

Hello!

I am hoping someone here can help me. I am looking to identify the name of a particular instrument in a song, A Winter's Tale by Jeremy Soule. Because I am new, the website will not let me post a link to the song! It is on YouTube! :usehead:

Besides the guitar and drum, there is another instrument being played. This is the instrument I am looking for. I've seen this instrument used in TV and film, often in medieval backgrounds. It is similar to a tambourine, but I am not 100% sure. Could it be a medieval-style tambourine?

Any help?

I'd say it's a tambourine.
Something like this one:

Hmmm..

I've seen the instrument before. It's a ring shape with plastic, sometimes metal, pieces that hang from it. You shake it, it makes noise. Very simple to use.

Sometimes in shows or film, the pieces will hang from a staff instead of a ring.

I contact the composer several days ago, asking what the instrument was, I didn't think he'd get back to me. He finally did.

The instrument is a homemade percussion instrument. It doesn't have a name. :(
