I'm doing Little Shop of Horrors in the spring and have come across the song Mushnik and Son. I'll be playing both kit and percussion parts so I'm trying to figure out how to play the castanets part with sticks in hand.
I could go the electronics route, but would like to avoid it if I can. So far I'm thinking I could try an LP Castanet Machine (http://www.lpmusic.com/products/castanets/castanet-machine/) though I'm not sure it would sound all that great played with sticks. I could attach a small strip of rubber to soften the stick hit, but that might change the sound of the castanet.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
