Reference information:
The tambourine is a hand drum with two different sounding parts: the head and the jingles.
The head is of medium thickness and is stretched over the shell and stays tight under all weather conditions.

Langhorne confirmed that he "used to play this giant Turkish tambourine. It was about [four inches] deep, and it was very light and it had a sheepskin head and it had jingle bells around the edge - just one layer of bells all the way around...I bought it 'cause I liked the sound...I used to play it all the time." In addition to inspiring the title, Langhorne also played the electric guitar countermelody in the song, the only musician to play on the song besides Dylan.
