With its ability to project a sonorous tone over almost any musical competition, the triangle has been a staple of the percussionist's arsenal for centuries. And in all that time its design has remained essentially the same: a single steel rod bent into a triangular shape. It's played by holding it in one hand or suspending it from a stand, and striking it with a beater held in the other hand. Performing any sort of creative rhythms has always required the use of two hands. Not anymore. Thanks to the imagination of Doug Hinrichs (percussionist with the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical In The Heights) and the creative talents of the LP design team, the humble triangle has experienced a hi-tech renovation. The result is LP's unique One-Handed Triangle (LP311H). Everything about the one handed triangle is new. Instead of being suspended by a cord, the specially bent triangle bar is entirely contained within a plastic grip that's "vented" in such a way as to retain all of the bar's sustain and projection capabilities. This grip also contains a Teflon-wrapped striker "bullet" that moves in a track between the sides of the bar. The size and weight of the striker bullet has been carefully chosen to produce optimal volume and sustain from the triangle bar. The tapered shape of the OHT lets it fit comfortably in the player's hand, making it easy to create a wide variety of movements. Strategically positioned openings in the grip provide finger access to the triangle bar itself, which allows for both open and muffled triangle playing. This makes the OHT particularly applicable to Latin and Brazilian rhythms. It can even produce sustained triangle rolls.The fact that the OHT can do all of this while being held in one hand raises a tough question for the percussionist.

Clave (pronounced clah’ vay) is the rhythmic pattern that forms the basis of Latin music. Clave is phrased in what is known as a 3/2 (forward clave) or 2/3 (backward clave) feel. That is, three beats then two beats or, two beats then three beats. Claves are the traditional instruments used to play clave and are comprised of two sticks that are struck together to get a sharp, cracking sound. One is called the Clave or male, while the other is the Striker or female. The Clave lays in one hand between the fingertips and the heel of the hand, with the thumb out for support. This space between the Clave and the palm of the hand creates a sound chamber. The Striker is held as a beater in the other hand and is struck against the Clave.

The new LP Percusso meets today's demand that the percussionist handle multiple sonic duties. A single player must negotiate a gamut of sounds. With this in mind, LP has designed the ingenious Percusso, which enables the percussionist to deliver two discrete tones from a single instrument. By grasping the comfortable LP Percusso grip, the player choose between shaking the lightweight frame for a jingling tambourine tone or depressing the direct-touch lever for an authentic wood block sound. Either way, the player can easily toggle between tones suitable for many musical genres. A further advantage of the LP Percusso is that block and jingle effects may be played simultaneously in perfect sync. After a moment's study, manipulating the LP Percusso becomes second nature and the player pulls off wood block/tambourine combinations with split-second precision. Multiple percussion timbres are a reality with the easy grip, one-handed innovation, the LP Percusso.
