A 9,5" cuica is a large inbetween-standard size which is great for playing in a big bateria but also in a small Pagode session. The head is all ready to being played, you might find it useful to rub down the dry gambito stick with some sand paper until it is a bit thinner. Like this the head will react more easily to the vibration, but the stick of course will become more fragile. The shell is made of inox, the hardware is chromed, tension rods and nuts are of fine brass, the instrument is rustical and well worked, the goatskin heads are carefully chosen. Artcelsior is one of the oldest traditional Samba drum makers of Rio, over the last decades they have strongly specialised in building fantastic cuicas. The cuicas are Artcelsior's signboard. You can find them in many different styles, sizes, metall types and optical details. The cuica is an extraordinary instrument, fearly difficult to play well but great fun.
A very diverse, original instrument an in any case a great enrichment for any Samba session!

ARTCELSIOR´s drums also were amongst the first drums available in Europe in the late 1980s. In those times they still used their brand called Lecsom and the small European Samba community played on the original drums from Rio de Janeiro. Even today and despite of having loads of competition, ARTCELSIOR still counts to many sambistas´favourite brand of instruments.
