Thank you. I'll have to do a follow up on the handle lol

This video was exceptionally helpful. I had to rebuild a cheap caixixi to make it more suitable for use w/ a berimbau. May I ask what the specs are for the reed you used (i.e., type, diameter)?

[@playinginthelight7450]

Hi. I don't remember the exact diameter of the reed, but it was medium sized. You can use most sizes and shapes of reed to make a caxixi

[@isabelvaldes5344]

Where can you find a type of reed like that

[@playinginthelight7450]

In Berkeley CA there is a shop called the Caning Shop, some crafts stores ie Michaels, and probably online somewhere

[@JoseJimenez-vw6xd]

What size reed did you use?

[@playinginthelight7450]

I don't remember the exact size, but any small to medium size will work. Larger reed can also work if you are using larger filler, like beans or something.

@@playinginthelight7450 thank you!

[@isabelvaldes5344]

Can kids try this?

[@playinginthelight7450]

They can try, but in our experience it is too difficult
