So this instrument that would be adapted to Brazillian bandolim later on which is for playing choro music.

@@user-oe2wk5nu9s Yes, it is. Brazilian bandolims looked like the one in this video (flat-top, pear-shaped) before Jacob do Bandolim (1918 - 1969) got a custom build with the body of a Portuguese guitar.
