    Default The Berimbau

    A Brazilian/african instrument used for Capoeira... usually just a bow from a beriba tree but more recently people have been making them from sandwitched wood... Can someone in the know take a look and guestimate how hard something like this would be to make?

    Sweet, i made a contemporary berimbau verga :: CAPOEIRA.COM Forums

    Depends on how much elaboration you want. A basic instrument in a few hours I reckon. Go for lots of decoration, laminated timbers and the like and you will be at it for a few weeks.

    You could prototype one with a beetroot tin, some crapiata and some string. That would you give you an idea of what is really involved.
