Hand-held clickers in Spanish dancing (9)

I believe the answer is:

castanets

(Other definitions for castanets that I've seen before include "Wooden percussion instrument" , "Clicking percussion instruments" , "kitchen need?" , "Flamenco clappers?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
