Handmade (compact) high-end pandeiro in Freijo wood, artisan luthier work from Minas Gerais - selected goatskins with handmade hardware elements

Another favourite item on our pandeiro shelf - an affordable artisan pandeiro with fabulous sound characteristics as well as visual features.
Beautiful wood work: directly from luthier Georg Joos' workshop in São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras in Minas Gerais, where the German carpenter and accomplished pandeiro maker lives and builds these top quality pandeiros with great and versatile sound.

We are thrilled about the combination of European quality workmanship and Brazilian understanding of instrument making and the authentic sound characteristics that a good pandeiro must have. All skins are hand-picked and of medium thickness, enabling them to produce plenty of vibration without too much muffling effect and hence creating saturated bass lines as well as a variety of sound characteristics that can be found across the Brazilian music genre. The pandeiro is a visually stunning instrument with a multi-layered frame of walnut-coloured Freijo wood and light Pinheiro wood. The jingles are hand-hammered high-quality brass plates, each with a centre plate, also brass. The flatrim is made of stainless steel and fits perfectly around the individually-chosen and fitted skin. At only 360 g, this model is one of our ultra-light weights with exceptional sound characteristics for all Brazilian styles.
