This high-quality repinique is the central signal instrument in the Brazilian samba ensemble - loud, clear and assertive. With its robust aluminum body, tunable steel rods and sturdy steel rings, it is perfect for use in carnival parades and the Batucada. The durable nylon heads ensure brilliant highs and crisp slaps that don't get lost even in large percussion groups. Equipped with 8 tension hooks, the Repinique can be tuned precisely and maintains its tension even under intensive use. It is ideal for solo players or as a conductor's instrument within a group. In conjunction with the apito whistle, it is often used to give cues, announce rhythm changes or control the tempo - an indispensable tool in every samba formation.
