Contemporânea 10″ Lightweight Wood Pandeiro

Description

A lightweight, tunable Brazilian pandeiro that is comfortable to hold and easy to enjoy. This 10-inch wood pandeiro is made in Brazil by Contemporânea, one of the best-known names in Brazilian percussion. Its light construction makes it a practical choice for beginners, younger players and musicians who want less strain during long practice sessions.

The synthetic head offers reliable tension and straightforward maintenance, while five pairs of metal jingles with centre plates create the bright, crisp sound associated with Brazilian pandeiro playing. Six tuning lugs allow you to adjust the head tension and shape the response to your preferred style.

Why choose this Contemporânea pandeiro?

A pandeiro can produce bass tones, open tones, slaps and jingle accents in a single compact instrument. This model gives new players an accessible way to begin learning those techniques without holding a heavy frame. It is also a convenient everyday instrument for classes, rodas, rehearsals and travel.

Lightweight and comfortable

The light-series construction helps reduce hand and wrist fatigue. The standard 10-inch size feels familiar and versatile, making it suitable for adults, teenagers and children who can comfortably hold a full-size pandeiro.

Tunable synthetic head

The synthetic head is durable, easy to care for and less sensitive to changes in humidity than a natural skin head. Use the six tuning lugs to find the tension and response that work best for your playing.

Made for Brazilian rhythms

Use it for capoeira, samba, pagode, choro, Brazilian music classes and rhythm practice. The five pairs of jingles include centre plates for a focused, articulate jingle sound.
