Superlight - outstanding sound!

Beautifully manufactured superlight pandeiro from South Brazil! The basic version craftworked by Fabiano Raposa is optically as well as sound-technically an extraordinary instrument! Like all his pandeiros, the fine and extremely light frame is made of valuable wood. The basic modell has machine-made brass jingles with an interleaf inbetween each pair of jingles. A hand-selected goatskin is a further gusto for your eyes and ears, and of course the chromed flatrim. Using flatrim tension hoops on pandeiros makes it possible to build very light instruments. The skin is not pressed into a metall ring like usually but wrapped around a piece of wire which saves weight! Also a pandeiro built with the flatrim technique is comfortable to hold because there is no hoop in the way standing over the top. The flat metall fits nicely in your hand and also looks good! The hook-brackets are screwed to the frame.
A beautifully crafted lightweight pandeiro with a clear, balanced jingle sound!
