Berimbau solo

Музыка

Just messing around with the berimbau while testing out our new camera.
My berimbaus are modified in several ways. The"bass drum" is the gourd of the berimbau thumping against my chest. Other than that, we've added tuning mechanisms and some ways to amplify the instruments.
On the couch in the background is a bamboo rainstick that was taken out because, sadly, it needs fixing.
3/21/13 Finally made that follow up video for which I'd been asked by someone patient. A bit different, hope you'll enjoy.

    @thethirteenthraven: The amplification is something I've been working on for a while. The long and short of it is that I have an inexpensive lavaliere mic inside the gourd as well as a piezzo pick-up, mounted to a metal saddle (with leather on the inside, to dampen the metallic ring). These run into a small mixer and blended there. I add a bit of EQ to bring out the gourd thump (the bass drum sound) and compression to even the thump with the string sound. It's a miracle it doesn't explode.

    @cobaiatemorozo yeah!! Did you know the musical bow is not just from Brazil though? It's the oldest and most common string instrument on the planet. Just about every place that ever used a bow and arrow (short bow, long bow, etc) also made music with it. That said, I did learn to build in Brazil. These ones were built in Salvador. I got my start through Capoeira...

    @MrJDFrog No, haven't got anything online about this. We're using a bass tuner mounted on an additional piece of wood and an ebony cap with a wire groove. I think you can see this up top. The most difficult thing about fashioning this is that luthiers' tools are generally designed to work with things are that flat or round whereas the biriba wood is neither, and each piece is different. So creating a vice that will allow one to work on it is half the story! Thanks for yer kind words, Good luck!

    @001Tara1 yes, nowadays the arame is from the inside of a car tire. You can also use piano wire but it doesn't sound quite the same. Tire wire is difficult to get out of the tire - it takes a lot of work with a knife. You can get old tires at a junk yard, or just find them on the side of the road somewhere. Or your neighbor's driveway. Don't tell them I said this.
