80cm high shells are the perfect intermediate size between the 90cm standard timbal and the short 70cm timbal.
Ideal if you are looking for a compact instrument without having to compromise on sound. The diameter is 14‘’ - the same as the full-size timbals, except that the shell is slightly shorter. In contrast to wooden timbals, aluminium always sounds a little sharper and punchier. Crisp slaps, powerful open tones and rich basses characterise this compact instrument. With an aluminium shell, you don't have to worry about wind and rain, even during a carnival parade. With 6 hooks, the timbal is more suitable for regular tuning and not excessively high pitches, but it has less hardware than timbals with many hooks and therefore weighs considerably less. Well built, crisp sound, robust and can be used in a variety of styles.
Customer reviews for "Timbal 14'' x 80 cm - aluminium, 6 hooks"
"Izzo"
High-quality instruments for Rio Samba and Samba Reggae, which are especially popular and proven in schools! For quite some years now, instrument builder IZZO remains among the top brands of Brazilian Samba percussios. It has been a while that IZZO instruments from São Paulo were rather simple percussion instruments which were very popular in Brazil due to their good price range.
Then they began to constantly increase their standard of Samba instruments until they reached a top-class level. By now they have become a serious manufacturer with a wide range of very well manufactured instruments which are known throughout the international market.
IZZO achieved a special coup when in 2010 they lanced their top brand TIMBRA. TIMBRA instruments were developed in close cooperation with renowned percussionists. The objective was to create convincing series of instruments with great sound, optically outstanding and adecuate for stage gigs. Especially the timbals, made of either wood or aluminium, set new standards with their 16 tuning hooks, extraordinary design and spectacular sound.
Today IZZO is completely in the league of the old-established traditional brands of Samba instruments.
