Repinique Policarpo 12''x30cm wood
Signature wood repinique Gabriel Policarpo 12''x30 cm with flattened rim - Contemporanea PRO
Special design with lowered rim section (ideal for stick-hand technique) and black superior head by Contemporanea - THE model for repinique freaks - the wood Signature piece has some absolutely brilliant design details that will blow your mind. Yes, we know, it's beautiful.
Something different: This repinique is made of wood - a rather untypical material for this instruments section. Wood is generally liked for its warm sound characteristics. In order for the shell to withstand the tension, it has extra reinforcement rings in the inside and weighs 2.85 kg, which is about 200 grams more than a standard aluminium model. Beautiful, matt lacquered finish with signature print completes the design.
The Lamborghini Miura among the repinique models you could say. Classic dimensions meet high-quality materials and best workmanship. Functionalities are embedded in the design and thus enable the highest level of playing comfort with exceptional sound qualities. High-end Contemporanea PRO features ensure voluminous and saturated sound characteristics. 6 tension rods allow for authentic Rio-style tuning and leave enough space for your hand when using the hand-stick technique.
Special feature:The rim is lowered on one side between two rods, so your playing hand is on the same level as the playing head. No more annoying rim, less injury potential and finally a cleaner sound, because now you can concentrate on your technique, your sound and your solos without any obstacles.
Special design:Black, thick nylon superior head, Gabriel Policarpo signature print on the shell.
