Terre Caxixi Coconut Medium

Um instrumento bonito, bem acabado, combinação de cores elegante.
O som das sementes na palha é suave, já na campana (parte de baixo) é intenso e agudo, pois ela é feita da casca do côco. Coisa incomum, já que tradicionalmente os caxixis são feitos de cabaça, e o som é menos estridente. Entretanto isso confere ao instrumento maior durabilidade, já que as cabaças são frágeis e fáceis de quebrar, e a casca do côco dará vida longa ao instrumento.

I bought both the medium and the large version of this caxixi. The large version has a higher pitch than this medium version. The large version also sounds a bit softer i think. I prefer the large version when im only playing one caxixi, but this medium one works great as a second caxixi when im playing with 1 caxixi in each hand. The coconut bottom was broken when the caxixi first arrived, leading me to believe that that part might be quite fragile. Thomann send me a new caxixi though and so far i have not had any trouble with the new one. The exact shape of the caxixi varies a bit (new one looks and sounds slightly different then the first one), but nothing major. Would definetly recommend this product, though i like the large version even more.
