Fact: The triangle is a percussion instrument that is made of a steel rod bent into the shape of – you guessed it – a triangle. And, as a percussion instrument, it is struck – most commonly with a metal beater, to give the instrument a bright, ringing tone. The triangle is an idiophone – or an instrument that, when struck, vibrates as a whole to produce a sound. The instrument is usually held by a loop of some form of thread or wire at the top curve. The triangle produces lots of overtones, or harmonics – which gives the instrument its distinctive sound.
