I hit it so hard it fell off the stand and made a lot of noise as it rolled on the ground. I got thrown out of the orchestra as a result. Also, I played it at the wrong time. They should set a timer to triangles, I think.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-75334401466259433932012-06-10T19:52:18.872-07:002012-06-10T19:52:18.872-07:00You should try the triangle like I did.
