Checkout the video above and learn how to string your berimbau.

All of our Berimbaus are hand made in Salvador Bahia, and ship locally from Austin, TX. The Berimbau Médio has an average thickness (thicker than the gunga / thinner than the viola) of verga (berimbau stick), a mid-sized cabaça (gourd), and produces the mid tone of the bateria.

Before we ship an order, your berimbau will be strung, tuned, and tested to insure that you receive the best paired cabaça and verga possible 🙂

The Berimbau Médio comes complete with :
– 1 Verga (approximately 66 in. / 168 cm. tall)
– 1 Cabaça Médio (approximately 19 in / 48 cm. in circumference)
– Arame (wire)
– 1 Caxixi
– 1 Baqueta de tucum
– 1 Dobrão

**PLEASE NOTE** If you are unfamiliar with how to string your Berimbau, we recommend purchasing the stringing and tuning service (1 per berimbau) to ensure your berimbau is tuned. If desired, you’ll need to request the berimbaus be shipped strung as this is not standard practice. A berimbau should be strung while playing, and unstrung when not. Although shipping this way is not recommended, we are happy to assist those who have never strung one before.
