A tambourine having the usual arrangement of pairs of jingles, has a handgrip molded into one inner sidewall portion of the frame. Through the sidewall of the tambourine at the grip portion is formed an aperture in which is mounted a bearing or pair of bearings sized so as to enable a performer to position the tambourine on a finger such as an index finger of the performer and to spin or rotate the tambourine around the bearings. A dimple recess formed on the outer side of the frame of the tambourine and opposite the aperture provides an additional support for the tambourine during substantially horizontal rotation. The tambourine shown is preferably a two-piece molded frame of plastic which, as it is assembled, is retained by aligning pins as well as other pins upon which are mounted the jingles. Recesses are formed in the aperture and sized to retain the outer races of the bearings when said bearings are mounted in the aperture of the assembled frame.
