Cajun Triangle - Lesson One

An instructional video for beginning cajun triangle players. I demonstrate how to hold the T'fer, how to handle the beater, how to get those "Clunk-a" and "Cling-a" sounds, and how to play along to Cajun waltzes and two-steps. I am a good triangle maker, though only a novice player myself. Please listen and play along to the fine traditional cajun players on Youtube and on the many CDs available.

Thanks for the instructions.

Some people think it's easy to play the triangle in the right way , but it isn't at all.

They often look with a smile on theeir face at the tit fer player.

But when you ask if they want to try it, they understand that it isn't easy at all.

We are blessed with a very steady player for the triangle,

I am gonna guess that his mother used to call him to dinner with the triangle quite a few times a day. Kidding aside . I love the instrument. It is authentic Cajun music.
