Hi,
A triangle might have some identity problems, itīs definitely, as mentioned
before, a groovy instrument.
Recently I saw Bebel Gilberto performing and the guy that played flute and
sax took during a song a triangle, and the things he did with it were
amazing. A tight rhythm, while he was damping the sound to give accents.
Quite impressing for such a silly instrument.
