Dear Big O

I have been refered to you as the agony aunt of worship and hope you can help me and my church.

I have been singing in the worship band, choir, womens group and outreach band for 17 years now. Although a singer, 12 years ago I decided to add to the music by playing the tambourine too.

Over these years I have purchased some 46 different tambourines and still have yet to find one that plays in time.

Please could you suggest where I could get an in-time one and perhaps a suitable padding to protect my thigh.

Betty
