Handmade light pandeiro, basic artisan model Fabiano Raposa / Atelier de Percussão

A light pandeiro with bright, balanced jingling sound in perfect workmanship! Beautifully made and light artisan pandeiro from southern Brazil. The basic model from the workshop of Osvaldo, who continues to build the pandeiros of Fabiano Raposa under the name of Atelier de Percussão, is exceptional both visually and with regard to sound. Like all his pandeiros, the fine and light frame is shaped from high-quality wood. The basic model has machine-made brass jingles, each with an interleaf. A hand-picked goatskin, chosen to match the frame, is of course included. The flatrim is chrome-plated, the brackets are screwed directly into the frame. Pandeiros with flatrims allow for an extremely lightweight construction, as the skin is not pressed into a metal ring, but wrapped around a thin wire instead, saving weight. Flatrim pandeiros are easy to hold because the rim doesn't overlap. Like all hide head pandeiros, you'll need to consider a playing-in period until the rim settles and the sound character has fully developed.
