This repinique has 7 tension rods as a special feature, right inbetween the commonly used 6 or 8 lugs, meaning that you can pitch up high without too much weight and use it for Rio Samba and Samba Reggae styles likewise. The shell is made of aluminium, the hardware is powdercoated. Another super feature here is that Gope now uses the extremely slim, small but very sturdy brackets as used for its series of ultralight surdos. The construction of ultralight hardware saves so much weight! The seam of the body is welded. Welded shells have a higher per centage of metal in their sound than folded shells, which comes in particularly handy when playing calls.
Customer reviews for "Repinique 12''x30cm turquoise"
"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.
