Small, light mini cuica with black tension hoop, hide head on an aluminium ring and solidly constructed - everything's a size smaller here! The seam of the body is welded. Welded shells produce a higher and more audible part of shell sound. 6'' is not a size for joining a bateria, but great for sessions by the logfire, to take on your travels, when playing in a small round or for beginners who want to try playing a cuica and are looking for an inexpensive and fun option.

Gope
GOPE is a family-run business from the area around São Paulo. Today the company is being run in its third generation by the grand daughter of the firm´s founder.
The brand GOPE has been producing drums and smallpercussion instruments for over 50 years now. When the company was founded, there was already a small workshop in which drumsets were manufactured.
In 1962, the production of the typical Samba instruments began, iniciated by Humberto Rodella, the son of the founder. The company kept growing and after several relocations in São Paulo, GOPE finally found the right place for building a large production hall in Embu Guaçu, a suburb of São Paulo.
Since then GOPE produces in Embu Guaçu everything from the Agogô to the Zabumba, a wide range of percussion instruments, and only recently also various wind instruments.
GOPE has always kept in close touch with the musicians. The ideas and proposals for modifications that they received from many of those contacts, have always had much influence in the development of new instruments and improvement of production.
