REPICAIXA - REPINIQUE WITH CAIXA STRINGS

NEWS FROM RIO - THE REPICAIXA HYBRID REPINIQUE WITH CAIXA STRINGS IS AVAILABLE NOW!

It really looks like a normal repinique. 12" standard size, shell height, hardware, heads and used materials in typical Ivsom style, nicely finished with handsome elements and the usual technical Ivsom extras. But: the repinique has caixa strings!

How does that work and above all - how does it sound?

On the side with no strings, the repinique simply sounds like a normal repinique with a distant caixa tune in the background. If you turn it around and play on the hybrid side, the repinique sounds like a slightly amplified caixa. The higher shell enlarges the volume of the resonance body, like this you have not only more volume and a bigger sound spectrum but overall more 'yumminess'.

Ivsom has not only created a gadget instrument with a special feature for Rio sambistas, but we'd go as far to say that a new instrument has been invented! If you the experimental type and also interested in the development of musical styles, or you simply enjoy discovering new tendencies, you will instantly fall in love with this glorious piece of percussion - we admit: we already have.

Well structured aluminium shell, as well as the usual Ivsom-specific technical details: the rods have threads on both sides in order to sit flush with the rim. The head base is nicely flattened, hoops, threads and generally the hardware is easy and nice to handle.
Ivsom is on of the suppliers of  Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel in Rio de Janeiro. Being a mechanic and active sambista himself, he is the perfect match as an instrument builder and has everything you need to know to make good instruments.

Repique Mor 14'' x 50 cmColloquially called the 'thick cigar' (charuto), the 14'' repique mor is more of a loner in Europe, whilst in a Rio Samba bateria you might see several of them played together. It has a 14'' diameter and also a higher shell, so it is two inches bigger than a regular 12'' repinique. The playing technique is pretty much the same. The charuto´s sound is deep and not as dingling as a normal repinique. Played well it brings a totally beautiful soundscape to your bateria. The sound is somewhere between a repinique and a high pitched surdo, an absolutely unique frequency which comes through especially when playing calls and solo parts in the bateria.Stylish repique mor and typical IVSOM design with yellow galvanised hardware.Beautiful instrument with a present sound.The solid aluminium shell as well as all technical details are in well-established IVSOM quality.

Repicaixa - 2 in 1 hybrid repinique with strings - 12'' x 27 cm - IVSOM

The hybid repinique is a total eyecatcher, stylish and in typical IVSOM design with polished aluminium and yellow hardware.
On one side, the repinique sounds like a totally normal repinique with some background caixa white noise. Turn the hybrid repinique around and play on the side of the strings - it will sound like an amplified caixa! The high shell enlargens the volume of the resonance body, so you get more sound volume, too and add a good portion of caixa crispiness to it!
