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 samba schools: The Son Duplo caixa with no body! A flat iron support 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 flash 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 skin fitting, string accommodation, tension hoops, threads etc. are neatly manufactured in the usual good quality IVSOM manner.
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 good quality Samba instruments.
