8'' Cuica with inox shell - the all-rounder size
The perfect all-rounder size! With an 8'' cuica you can comfortably play in a small bateria, at the Pagode or any smaller ensemble and take it with you on your travels. You could consider sizing up if you are planning to play in a massive bateria, but this model is perfect for a smaller group or a weekend trip with Pagode session. The resonance body is the same length as the larger models and is therefore very similarly loud. The head with the little bambo stick is mounted and ready to play, you might find it helpful to sand the dry bamboo stick a tad thinner with some sandpaper. This makes the head more responsive, keep in mind that the stick also becomes more sensitive when it's thinner.
The body is made of stainless steel, the hardware is chromed, rustic and well made instrument. The Cuica is a lovable, difficult to play but very fun instrument, which is very common in Brazil and is becoming more and more popular outside the country as well.
Something different!
"Izzo"
High-quality instruments for Rio Samba and Samba Reggae, which are especially popular and proven in schools! For quite some years now, instrument builder IZZO remains among the top brands of Brazilian Samba percussios. It has been a while that IZZO instruments from São Paulo were rather simple percussion instruments which were very popular in Brazil due to their good price range.
Then they began to constantly increase their standard of Samba instruments until they reached a top-class level. By now they have become a serious manufacturer with a wide range of very well manufactured instruments which are known throughout the international market.
IZZO achieved a special coup when in 2010 they lanced their top brand TIMBRA. TIMBRA instruments were developed in close cooperation with renowned percussionists. The objective was to create convincing series of instruments with great sound, optically outstanding and adecuate for stage gigs. Especially the timbals, made of either wood or aluminium, set new standards with their 16 tuning hooks, extraordinary design and spectacular sound.
Today IZZO is completely in the league of the old-established traditional brands of Samba instruments.
