All you need is to throw in the letter your ideas, desires, color preferences, patterns you like, and any pictures you think might be relevant to the design of your dream.

The artist will contact you via email or phone to discuss creative ideas in details. In 3-5 business days, she will propose the design(s) for your judgement, and only upon your confirmation, the design will be applied to your gourd and/or verga.

By default, all cabaças have 1-hole socket fixture that fits the contemporary berimbau with a sound bridge peg. The 2-hole socket is a usual fixture for a classical berimbau where cabaça is bound with a rope. Such cabaças are manufactured upon request, at no additional charge. To order the cabaça with 2-hole socket, leave a comment "2-holes fixture" when placing your order, and your cabaça will be made with a traditional fixture.

Customer's Feedback

Berimbau Sabre and Tubarão

"I am playing the berimbaus you sent me. I am also placing an order for two more berimbaus and cabaças. You created a beautiful instrument, perfect for my needs. From the vergas to the cabaças, you have raised the bar for craftsmanship in the making of berimbaus. Without a doubt, the finest berimbaus I have ever owned – I have 18.
Hats off to the entire crew at Capoeira Mandinga!!!!!!"
