Historical context and positioning in the range
The berimbau is the emblematic instrument that guides the game in capoeira. The steel string is its central element: it determines the tension, tuning stability, and a large part of the sound character. This 130 cm string is positioned as a simple and effective solution for routine maintenance and replacing a worn string.
Who this drum/instrument is for
This string is intended for capoeira practitioners from beginners to advanced, as well as Brazilian percussion musicians wishing to keep a berimbau in perfect playing condition. It is suitable both for training and for the roda, where response consistency is essential.
Features and innovations
Designed for direct mounting, it allows for homogeneous tension and a more precise playing feel. The steel promotes good durability over time, limiting loss of responsiveness caused by wear or deformation.
Sound
A steel string emphasizes a controlled brightness, a clean attack, and good projection. The constant tension improves the definition of variations produced by the stone and coin, for more readable nuances and a more expressive playing.
