    Brazil

    The Del Vecchio Dinamico is a resonator (resophonic) guitar made by Casa Del Vecchio of Sao Paulo, Brazil, introduced in the 1930s.

  • Nazareth Berimbau

    A musical bow with a gourd resonator

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The berimbau is a wooden bow, a steel string, and a gourd pressed against the player's stomach to open and close the resonance. It leads capoeira: the roda's tempo, and which game is played, are called by the berimbau.

  • Contemporânea Surdo

    The bass drum of the samba bateria

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The surdo carries the pulse of a samba school, and Contemporânea builds them in aluminium and wood across the three tuned sizes a bateria uses — first, second, and third surdo.

  • Gope Pandeiro

    Brazil's most widely exported pandeiro

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    Gope's pandeiros are the ones most often seen outside Brazil, in both nylon and natural-skin heads, and in the aluminium frames that survive travel.

  • Hering Chromatic 48

    Chromatic harmonica model

    Harmonica · Brazil

    A 12-hole, 48-reed chromatic harmonica from the Brazilian maker Hering (model 5148), covering three octaves with a sliding button that raises each note a semitone for fully chromatic playing. It is built with an ABS body and chrome covers and is offered in several keys.

  • Nazareth Atabaque

    The tall hand drum of candomblé and capoeira

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    Rope-tuned with wedges driven down the sides, the atabaque comes in three tuned sizes — rum, rumpi, and lê — played together in Afro-Brazilian religious music.

  • Contemporânea Pandeiro

    The Brazilian frame drum

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The pandeiro's jingles are cupped and dry rather than bright, and the head is tunable, which lets one player produce bass, slap, and jingle parts simultaneously.

  • Contemporânea Repinique

    The bateria's calling drum

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The repinique is the drum the leader plays to call a samba school in and out of sections, high-pitched and played with one hand and one stick.

  • Contemporânea Tamborim

    A tiny frame drum played with a multi-rod beater

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The tamborim is six inches across, held in one hand, and struck with a flexible multi-rod stick; the virada figures it plays are the most recognisable sound in the bateria.

  • Gope Atabaque

    The tall hand drum of candomblé and capoeira

    Hand percussion · Brazil

    The atabaque is a tall, rope- or key-tuned hand drum used in Afro-Brazilian religious music and in capoeira rodas, built by Gope in the three traditional sizes.
