I am soooo grateful that Brazil & Brazilian friends showed me the cavaquinho. I can bring it to pub jams, and nobody else has one. It also breaks my habits free from depending on rock-n-roll guitar tropes. And it’s easier to transport & travel with. And the treble voice cuts through mid-range pub sounds. Adoro violaõ, & viola caipira & AINDA adoro rock guitar… but my li’l cavaquinho has become so so so dear to me 🙏❤️

I use Thomastik Cavaquinho Strings because they have Silk Wound around both ends to protect them.

Great video. You should make another comparing and explaining some features the cuatro, uklele, and the charango share.. as well as the vihuela, jarana and the guitare.

[Victor-yhek]

You forgot also the Timple Canario, cuatro venezolano, Jarana Jarocha .

Que marca de cavaquinho brasileiro você recomenda?

[DellaStreet]

How durable are cavaquinho steel strings compared to the nylon strings used for ukuleles? I saw a close-up of a cavaquinho once, and the steel strings looked really thin, like something that might easily snap if you tie it to the bridge.

Excellent video. I have been buying from Strings By Mail for years; acoustic guitar, classical, banjo and cavaquinho. SBM are the best for quality and service. I am making my second cavaquinho. This one has flamed maple sides and a flamed maple and rosewood back with a Port Orford Cedar top. For more examples of cavaquinho playing.. Danilo Brito also on you tube.

Luckily they don't really use armadillo shells to make charangos anymore. Apparently would was scarce in the Andes regions where that style of music started so they had to improvise.

Why is the pronunciation of the Charango and the Cavaguinho correct but not for the ‘ukulele? I guess Hawai’i doesn’t count as a legitimate recognized language.

[billjarv]

that is NOT the flag of Hawaii....It is the flag of the USA at 2:33 flag of Hawaii has a union flag in the corner and only nine important as the uke reached Hawaii before the USA did

[andreanunez]

what about the jarana?? mexican son jarocho. another small guitar.

[mrvidusmrvidus]

The 'Ukelele' doesn't have 'multicultural' origins, the natives of Hawaii literally had nothing to do with its development. It's a European guitar spread through the colonies by Europeans, named in a Polynesian language for exotica reasons and popularised this way by American commercialism.
