9'' natural skin – cuica replacement hide head with bamboo stick in aluminum rim by Gope
9'' cuica head with pre-installed bamboo stick, ready to play!
Tips for cuica skins:
Natural hides are delicate. Loosen them after playing and before storing. Keep them at room temperature, away from moisture, heaters, or direct sunlight. Heat and dryness can make them brittle and cause tearing. Let damp skins dry completely (overnight works best) before tuning, and avoid drying with heaters or in the sun.
Pro tip:
Thick bamboo sticks don’t vibrate well. Sand them down for a thinner, smoother stick to get better sound. Pre-sand spares so you’re always ready!
Note on aluminum rings:
Warping from temperature or humidity is normal. Lightly moisten a warped head, mount it loosely, and let it air-dry fully before tensioning. Wrinkles will smooth out as the ring adjusts to the drum.

Note about spare parts:
We recommend that you always purchase spare parts of the same brand as your instrument to ensure fit and function. We cannot assume any warranty for different-brand combinations. If you are looking for a spare part that you cannot find on our site, please contact us!
Customer reviews for "Hide head Cuica 09'' aluminium rim"
"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.
