I have found some more interesting things about the viola caipira.<\/p>\n

First, there is a homepage dedicated to the viola caipira with all important information about the instrument, its players, teachers, luthiers, some sheet music and much more: http:\/\/www.violacaipira.com.br\/musicabrasileira\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I found another homepage with an interesting article about the history of the Viola Cabocla with some interesting pictures. This article was published in the Revista Sertaneja <\/strong>magazine during the 1950s.: http:\/\/www.widesoft.com.br\/users\/pcastro4\/viola.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Another homepage dedicated to the Viola is: http:\/\/www.violaeponteios.com.br\/site\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally the site of Eric Martins<\/strong> is also very useful if you want to learn to play the viola caipira – you can find chord charts and a basic method for the viola: http:\/\/www.ericmartins.mus.br\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The I have found that there are some big ensembles who play the viola caipira and sing. Those Orquestra de Viola Caipira<\/strong> sound very similar to a mandolin orchestra, they do also use the tremolo some times. Here is one example of such an orchestra:<\/p>\n

Orquestra Paulistana de Viola Caipira<\/h2>\n

Finally I have found an interesting video that shows some steps of the making of a viola caipira in a small luthiers workshop:<\/p>\n
