Can tambourine play a tune

A tambourine itself does not play a melody like traditional melodic instruments; instead, it produces rhythm and texture through shaking and striking. It consists of a frame with jingles, which create a bright, percussive sound. While it can accompany melodic instruments and enhance a song's overall feel, it doesn't have the capability to play a tune on its own. However, skilled players can create rhythmic patterns that can complement melodies effectively.
