Section 45.05 Playing the Pandeiro The Berimbau is the main instrument of <strong>Capoeira</strong> this one string instrument along with two others that are set at three different pitches high medium and low. Many capoeira mestres have different opinions on which pitch the berimbau should be played at my opinion is that it should be played at the pitch where it sounds the best resonates the best open tone and the best buzz tones. The main berimbau’s major purpose is to control what goes on in the playing circle of <strong>Capoeira</strong> and is the most important instrument in the ensemble which is called the bateria. The wood it’s made mostly of is a special wood from Brazil called Biriba. Here in America I have found that the Hackberry tree and the crate myrtle tree are the best woods to use for making a berimbau. The sound comes from the gourd family that is called a Cabaça the wire that is strung on the berimbau comes from the lower rim wall of a car tire. To get to this wire it has to be exposed by carving the rubber with a knife or sheetrock knife and using a pair of pliers to extract the wire you must expose the wire from the rim of the tire entirely and clean it off to make the sound come out clear. To play the berimbau you need to use a small stick less than pencil size tapered and about 12 of 14 inches long also you need a dobrao which is called a coin or a rock this coin is made of brass and is about the size of a $.50 piece put together the stick is called the Baqueta and the basket shaker called the caxixi. With a lot of Practice and a good teacher you will be playing the berimbau. 41
