Instruments

Here in the Choro Shop we specialize in hard-to-find Brazilian instruments used to play choro, samba, forró and other genres of Brazilian music. These include 7-string guitars (violôes de 7 cordas), cavaquinhos, bandolins, pandeiros, rabecas, pífanos and various percussion instruments. You'll find a link to a collection of each of these below.

We make these instruments available for purchase online throughout the year and in person at Choro Camp New England, which takes place annually.

You have 3 full days after receipt to enjoy the instrument and decide whether or not you'd like to keep it. 

Shipping rates should be visible here on the site if you are purchasing from within the 50 contiguous US states. For shipping elsewhere, please contact us by email (chorocamp@gmail.com) and we'll quote you a custom shipping rate.
