Falsos Cognatos: Tambourine

I researched this word in google images and I just found pandeiros and a dragonball z character.

Quase 13 anos, mas acho que encontrei uma boa tradução para tamborim, via "context.reverso": frame drum;

Embora este artigo (Ref. en.wikipedia) na Wikipédia em inglês mostre que não há tradução para tamborim, o tamborim é um entre muitos "frame drums". (Ref. en.wikipedia)

Tanto o tamborim quanto o pandeiro brasileiros, são TAMBOURINES. Não há falso cognato aqui!

Discordo. Uma busca rápida no Google Imagens com o termo "tambourine" devolve somente imagens de pandeiros (tanto com pele como sem pele). Além disso, a definição de "tambourine" no dicionário Merriam-Webster afirma que o mesmo é:

Definition of tambourine
: a small drum
Especially: a shallow one-headed drum with loose metallic disks at the sides played especially by shaking or striking with the hand

Um tamborim não possui tais discos metálicos e é tocado principalmente com baquetas. São em essência dois instrumentos distintos, com aparências, sonoridades e práticas distintas e usar "tambourine" para fazer referência a "tamborim" vai na verdade remeter a "pandeiro" aos nativos.

Pandeiro and tambourine are quite similar, I don't know if a skilled musician could produce the same or similar sound with both.
But it seems that the tambourine not being tuned would be more limited a bit.

There is also another distinction when musicians speak of "Brazilian tambourine". Mostly said about the samba

That is, when we use the word "tambourine" in Brazil it's more about the "Brazilian tambourine" used in Samba Schools. And it has a loud pitch, just ask people that live around the Sambodrome and try to sleep on Carnival days!
It's no wonder that the name comes from "tambor" (diminutive of "drum").
Plus, in Brazil "pandeiro" is the one associated handing it with the hand and playing with the 'bare hands', whereas "tamborim" would be associated with playing it with drumsticks (in Samba Schools, being somehow 'quasi-attached' to the body).

It seems like in Europe they also make confusion sometimes and may put them in the same 'category' (of "tambores de mão"). In their site they categorize both of them as "frame drums" (perhaps in a general way - and meaning "tambores de mão".).
