Sistrum what do you do to make it make sound?

A sistrum is a musical instrument, traditionally associated with ancient Egyptian music, that produces sound through the shaking of its frame. To make it sound, you typically hold the sistrum by its handle and shake it, allowing the loose metal rods or jingles to vibrate against the frame. This creates a distinctive, rattling sound. The sistrum is often used in religious and ceremonial contexts, adding a rhythmic element to music.
