Varnished Berimbau

The basic, varnished model is made from premium biriba wood straight from the banks of Bahia. Biriba wood possesses a few characteristics that make it ideal for building berimbaus: strength and flexibility with resistence. This unique combination give it the ability to be bent and strung with enough resistence to keep the wire taut and produce a full, solid sound.

At a shorter length and smaller cabaça (violinha) than the full-size versions, the tone quality produced will be slighly higher than that of a viola berimbau.

Cabaça/Gourd

Cracked cabaças leave you with extra vergas? Don’t let them go to waste—choose from gunga, médio, and viola varnished cabaças to re-mix and marry with your verga collection. Like most Capoeiristas know, not every cabaça and verga can be thrown together to make a great berimbau, so we cannot guarantee that the cabaça(s) you receive will complement your verga(s) in size or sound. If you have extra vergas that can be mixed and matched to produce a good result, then an extra cabaça or two is just what you need. This selection of cabaças come from our same line of full-size, varnished berimbaus.
