Soon online: many new designs, colours and instruments fresh from Brazil - Samba Percussion, Samba guitars, producer news and new ideas - what's new this season, on which festivals can you meet us, and why is it that a wood guitar maker all the sudden builds the perfect Samba drums?

WHAT'S NEW?

  • Gope is coming up with quite a few interesting and new products in their assortment, amongst others pandeiros, rebolos, timbals, agogos and many more - online in june!
  • Rozini: For those of you who love Brazilian traditional music and for the aficionados of sting instruments - we are getting a new 7-string guitar (violão de 7 cordas) by Rozini in which we will present shortly.
  • Ivsom: New rio beater (mallets) for marcação surdos and surdo de terceira in many different colours, and finally and after having so many of you ask for - also in black! ;)
  • Rozini percussão: What does a company do, who has extremely successfully built wooden string instruments for many decades and has specialised in top-class production - exactly: they build more instruments of wood! We are really excited about their new percussion line! Rozini is an old-established and traditional luthier company who has managed to transfer its very special relation to wood to another kind of instruments - and we are so looking forward to this: Rozini percussion soon online in our shop!

Chocalho salgueiro
Chocalho / Rocar Salgueiro with hand-painted red and white wooden handle and 20 pairs of zinc sheet jinglesThe allstar-favourite amongst the chocalhos, Salgueiro style hand painted with classical galvanised jingles that sound so authentic that you'll think you are in the middle of a bateria rehearsal in Rio. The instrument comes with anatomical shaped handles for perfect grip, clean processing and a good portion of style. Its weight is well balanced so if you want you can pull off a whole load of tricks for your audience. A real chocalho pro knows the craziest tosses, flips and direction changes in the middle of the groove. We can just bow our heads marvelling about such creativity, and recommend the instrument!Zinc sheet jingles - extraordinary sound but dirty fingers due to abrasion!
