A full-size professional cuica at a really good price. Polished stainless steel shell, good quality skins, very good workmanship - everything one looks for in a good cuica.
The 10'' size offers a broad sound spectrum that can be used for any small sessions or big bateria. Timbra makes high-quality Samba instruments that are appealing both in sound and appearance. The skin for this instrument is carefully chosen, the thickness matches purpose.
Tip:
When you buy a new cuica, the bamboo stick (gambito) is often very thick. Relax the skin (or take off the hardware and remove it from the shell) and sand the dry stick with medium sandpaper, then with fine sandpaper. Be careful not to touch the skin when sanding. Thinner sticks respond more easily and ''sing'' better. However, this also makes the sticks more fragile. If you are new to playing the cuica, you will have to try out a bit until you find the gambito thickness that works best you. It's good to have a few spare gambitos and already sand them before you put them in the skin.

"Timbra"
In 2010, IZZO managed to pull off a remarkable milestone by lancing their high-end show brand TIMBRA TOP PERCUSSION.
All TIMBRA Samba instruments have been developed in close cooperation with renowned percussionists. The objective was to create convincing series of instruments with great sound, optically outstanding and adecuate for stage gigs. Especially the timbals, made of either wood or aluminium, set new standards with their 16 tuning hooks, extraordinary design and spectacular sound.
TIMBRA builds all kinds of Samba instruments from wood and aluminium surdos, cuicas, rebolos to tantans and timbals. A special eye-catcher was one of the brand's first lines - the Carlinhos Brown Signature Series with timbals and bacurinhas with elaborate colour prints and designs on vinyls. High-quality workmanship, authentic sounds and flashy designs are still the main trademarks of TIMBRA.
