    Hi,

    A triangle might have some identity problems, itīs definitely, as mentioned
    before, a groovy instrument.

    Recently I saw Bebel Gilberto performing and the guy that played flute and
    sax took during a song a triangle, and the things he did with it were
    amazing. A tight rhythm, while he was damping the sound to give accents.
    Quite impressing for such a silly instrument.
