MAX-Strap harness system - special timbal strap
The Timba Special strap is equipped with smaller carabiners and rings (without extension strap and buckle). If having space around your chest is particularly important to you or you need to mind special body measurements, please use the standard modell MAX strap system Standard.
This strap system is especially designed for carrying timbals; you can quickly attach and detach your timbal and still carry it safely, also during longer parades!
1st Version - 1 attachment point:
The strap is attached to only 1 tension hook. Pick any hook on your timbal, open it, pull it out a bit and thread the ring over it before putting the hook back where it was and tightening it up again. Now clip both carabiners to the ring and adjust the timbal to the playing height you like. The straps will now run straight down from your shoulders instead of sideways along the upper body. When you are moving, you can simply direct your timbal with your knees.
2nd version - 2 attachment points:
If you feel that your timbal is more comfortable or stable wearing it attached to two hooks instead of one and you prefer having more space around your chest area, simply attach the carabiners to 2 adjacent tension hooks.
Note for special sizes:
- With 1 attachment point, the straps will run down over the chest. For ladies with a larger breast, we therefore recommend either to use 2 attachment points or to switch to the MaxGurt Standard harness instead.
- If you have a large belly, please note: The timbal should then hang higher so that you can play comfortably and the hip belt is long enough.
All straps can be shortened continuously. This means that e.g. if you are a size M and have excess strap length that bothers you, you can either tuck the ends away or cut them off and flame them.

IVSOM in Brazil
IVSOM is a producer of authentic Samba instruments in Rio de Janeiro. The brand name is a wordplay with his own name which is Ivson, and the Braziliain word for sound which is 'som'. Before becoming self-employed, Ivson absolved a profound formation in the metalworking craft sector. Ivson has been an active sambista for many years. He plays caixa for Mocidade, his wife and business partner Luciana plays the chocalho. Therefore he is very close to his clients and knows exactly, what is in demand. Ivson actively participates in the production of his instruments and makes excellent-quality instruments in a very well organized workshop. Some of Rio´s major Samba schools play his instruments. Quite frecuently Ivson surprises us with new features and innovations. Due to his close contact to the Samba scene, he is often the first to convert buzzing ideas and or incitations into useful inspiration for making new instruments. The IVSOM 'vasado' caixas and repiniques created the trend of instruments without bodies.

Percussion instrumens
IVSOM drums have a couple of untypical characteristics. For example, the tension rods are flush with the rim. This link is very stable and absolutely free of rattling noises, but a bit more time-consuming in its montage. The surdos have a neat detail concerning the rims of the body where the head rests. The body´s wall is rimmed around a 10 mm flat bar. With this the corpus is a lot more stable than other bodies where wire is used for reinforcement. Like this the drums obtain a smooth and flat rim for ideal head fitting. IVSOM´s reference product is the rocar..
