Castanets are made in pairs, connected loosely with fine cord. Their shape is rather like an empty shell. When the castanets are clicked together fairly quickly they make a sound rather like the sound from clapping hands. It is the hollow parts of the castanets, and of the "cupped" clapping hands which make the sound.
