Like every other product, this Berimbau has its flaws:
The included Baqueta is too bulky for too fast toques too heavy and too heavy, also from a different wood than I know it (which probably should not be particularly difficult to weigh) but you can synonymous, if necessary, also exchange. What does not mean that it would not be better to have a suitable one if you already at the price such an instrument ordered ..
Also, I want to note that not the whole Berimbao made of fiberglass, only the cabasa .. I was at least not very clear at the purchase;)
The Dobrao is in my opinion quite good and handy.
The windings of the Arame are, well "numerous" to express it beautiful (there are far too many) but I think that varies. There are however enough to ask me whether the manufacturers want at all to get the string removed or whether it should not be there for eternity .. which the instrument probably would very much eluded.
The sound is quite penetrating and strong in relation to other Berimbais, the "Wah-Wah" effect is also clearly noticeable. It is also very deep and I am using this instrument as Gunga (since not detailed in the description).
The Caxixi fulfills its task very well, is haptically however more suitable for the play with two of this kind.

Bow and calabash in fiberglass, it is solid.
I added a second smaller calabash for the treble and fixed the bow on a microphone stand. Played with different chopsticks and to the bow, we release very nice sounds.
Bottom: The carrying bag does not allow the calabash to be stored.
