    Hi,
    I was interested in your comment about castanets not being ‘purist’. When I was in Seville we avoided the shows they do for tourists and went to a ‘back street’ club (we managed to extract directions from the tourist information office there) which did flamenco – and yep, there wasn’t a castanet in site! And much the better for it. Just a shame that people are paying 30 euros or more to see an unauthentic show in unauthentic surroundings. Guess that’s what ‘tourism’ is all about.
    Just my thoughts
    Stephen.

    I am having a problem decidng what size castanets to buy. I have very very tiny hands (smaller than most kids!). My palm from under my index finger to the top of my wrist is 3 in. The width of my hand ( right beneath my fingers) is just over 3 in. What do your recommend? Thank you!

    Sorry I made a mistake in the above- the width of my hand is 2 and a half inches; the length is 3 inches (had to have my husband measure to be sure).
