Alfaia - bombo de Maracatu: pure, simple design, hide heads on aluminium rings for easy mount and head exchange
Strong, laminated tension hoops hold the hide heads on the wood shell of the bombo which is also made of laminated wood. The shells are unpainted but treated with clear varnish, the simple design leaves all the attention to the craft work and the wood-optic. The alfaias are very light! Good quality, stable nylon ropes are used for the tuning system. Another pro for this series is the hide heads on aluminium rims. Other than hide heads on wood rims, these won't twist out of shape as much and make every head changing quick and easy.
Customer reviews for "Alfaia"
"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.
