Beautifully manufactured superlight pandeiro from South Brazil! The Especial modell craftworked by Fabiano Raposa is optically as well as sound-technically an extraordinary instrument loaded with fine craftwork and lots of love to the detail! An elegant decorative marquetry band is handcrafted all around the frame. Like all of Fabiano´s pandeiros, the fine and extremely light frame is made of valuable wood. The Especial has visibly hand-hammered and strongly domed brass jingles sounding fine, clear and delicate, an interleaf inbetween each pair of jingles. A hand-selected goatskin is a further gusto for your eyes and ears. The flatrim is also made of brass. 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 standing over the top. The flat metall fits nicely in your hand and simply looks gorgeous!
Another special feature: The hook-brackets are slid on from the bottom of the frame, like this it is not neccessary to injure the frame by having to drill holes to fix the brackets.
A beautiful top class craftmansship, lightweight high-end pandeiro with a clear, balanced jingle sound!
"Fabiano Raposa"
In the beautiful south of Brazil, Osvaldo, a young luthier, continues the life's work of Fabiano Raposa in his Atelier de Percussão. For decades, the handmade Raposa pandeiros were among the top pandeiro models. Made with great attention to detail individually in a small workshop to the highest quality. Exemplary craftsmanship! Osvaldo is also a pandeirista himself, so he knows exactly what it takes to make a pandeiro in this category.
You can tell right away that the pandeiros have been made with the greatest care and an extraordinary eye for detail. Precious woods are used for the frames of the instruments, which help to shape the later sound characteristics of the pandeiros. The choice of skins is also made according to strict criteria, ensuring that the instruments have a subtle and clear sound.
Raposa's basic idea thus lives on in Osvaldo's studio: playing with high-quality and beautiful instruments is simply much more fun and it is also easier to make good music. The brand of the instruments remains Fabiano Raposa's heritage. Anyone who watches Osvaldo at work will quickly realise that he is the right person to step in Raposa's shoes.
