The tambourine-like instrument is an Egyptian Riq.

That the music is incredible isn't even up for the debate! But what makes this one of my favorite videos on youtube (together with Istampitta Tre Fontane) is the joy everyone shows when they're playing! Wonderful, beautiful video!!

Gotta love a real tambourine player.

@damedesmontagnes It's called a Riqq and it's a serious classical instrument in Arabic music. Peter here plays it in open or cabaret style; there are a couple of other styles of playing it for added variety. And yeah, he's very good.

This is one way of playing the piece. Once you cotton on to the fact that every next variation adds a measure to the previous, you can start improvising this stuff with relative easy. The other melody instruments then come in when they hear the theme come around.
For extra challenge: have two improvisers, who build on each other's solos!

Is there a date on the tuscan manuscript?

@FedericoAndreas Because this particular manuscript contains a lot of different pieces from different times, it is hard to date. But probably this piece is from the late 14th century.

I wish we could see the other percussionists, but overall, a very beautiful and inspiring video! Thank you for uploading!

@damedesmontagnes There is only one percussionist in the video--the fabulous Peter Maund.
