BERIMBAU : By Contemporanea. Used in music for the capoeira - a Brazilian martial art, the berimbau is a 4 to 5 foot length of the berim tree, bent like a bow with a wire strung tort from each end, a gourd is attached about a third of the way up the instrument by string around the wire and the stick, this forms a sound chamber and a bridge. The player holds the stick in his left hand with a metal washer in his fingers and a small shaker and a stick-beater in the right hand, the gourd rests against his stomach , he then hits the wire just above the string bridge. The sound can be changed by touching the wire with the metal washer.
