Choice of materials:
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The advantage over some other alloys in making dobrão is that the coating will not wear out when playing. Sometimes some dobrão sold in the trade are covered with a thin layer of finish that gives it an attractive appearance but that in the end will flake very quickly rubbing the arame berimbau.
