Caixa Vazada 12'' x 17 cm IVSOM A110216

Caixa Vazada 12'' x 17 cm - the caixa with no shell!
A real eyecatcher
In Rio, the latest version of this instrument is the newest blowoff and ist literally shaking up the sambaschools: The Son Duplo caixa with no shell! A flat-iron frame creates the illusion of a closed corpus. The caixa has the same size as the instruments made from aluminium. The sensational sound however differs significantly. Tremendously direct and loud, without the restriction of the surrounding shell.
A real experience for all caixa players
especially for those who play em cima: because the sound can escape directly, it also reaches you directly meaning that even if you play in a strong bateria you will be able to easily hear yourself!
The caixa vazada sounds extra-dry, with extremely little sustain and looks just great!
Rimshots could sound a bit stronger.
As usual with all IVSOM instruments, the tension rods are screwed down flush with the fittings in the ring. All important details such as a smoothed out rims for ideal head fitting, string accommodation, tension hoops, threads etc. are neatly manufactured in the usual high quality that IVSOM makes his instruments.
Amongst others, IVSOM provides the Samba school Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel in Rio de Janeiro with his instruments. Being a mechanic and a caixa player, he disposes of ideal abilities for building high quality Samba instruments.
