Simply put, one of the best cavaquinhos that has ever come through the Choro Shop. Rich, fat tone across the frequency spectrum and surprising volume. Easy on the hands as well as the eyes.
The modelo "Clássico" is a step up from JB's much more widely available "Canhotinho" model of cavaquinho. When we find one of this vintage -- 2006 is the sweetest of sweet-spots -- we're on it. This particular instrument was evaluated and selected, without hesitation, by Paulo Novais dos Santos, who works with Adam in São Paulo. Back at the shop all they had to do was polish the finish a bit, swap out the cheap budget tuners for top-quality Rubners, and it was good to go.
A/B this cavaquinho with whatever you are playing right now. If you can go back to yours, congratulations -- you must have something special in your hands.
