Praktical small-size chocalho / rocar with aluminium frame and 18 pairs of galvanised steel sheet jingles

For on the road, for small hands, for compact baterias, for young sambistas - a mini chocalho for anyone looking for a smaller, less loud and less heavy rocar. The sound is the same as a regular chocalho produces, but not as loud and smaller in its size. The aluminium frame is standard and has two lateral handles. Some sambistas like to put some fabric around the handles for more comfort when playing it, especially over longer periods. Zinc-plated steel sheet is a very popular material for Samba instruments. On the one side it is cheap and rustical, on the other side it sounds fantastic. The typical and authentic 'dirty' and dry sound is the undisputet favourite of many sambistas. The only drawback might be the abrasion which is typical for this material and makes dirty fingers. True lovers of zinc sheet sound will accept this fact without hesitating.
