The Recife maracatu alfaias are from the professional range. This model measures: 24" x 30 cm. The shell is made with 5 plies of birch wood (8 mm thick) that guarantee the best sound quality. The rings are made of solid beech that provide greater durability.
You can hear its sound in this video recorded with an 18" Alfaia Recife to which we installed a muffle on one of the heads to have 2 different sounds.
