IZZO, a True Benchmark in Percussion

Percussion from Ortolá. We look at the new additions to its catalog of Brazilian percussion instruments and other accessories from the IZZO brand. This is a Brazilian musical instrument and accessories company founded in 1945. With more than 7 decades of history, IZZO has become a benchmark in the Brazilian music market and has also earned international recognition, making it a benchmark in percussion.

Initially it was devoted to making strings for instruments, but in 1960 it expanded its production line with the manufacture of drumheads, tambourines and frame drums. That is how its history in the world of percussion began.

Today it makes all kinds of Brazilian percussion instruments under the IZZO and TIMBRA brands, the latter being its top-of-the-line brand, and it still makes strings under the SG name.

In addition, the company has recently added TIMBRA instruments to its catalog, such as timbas, surdos, bacurinhas and cuícas. It has also expanded its string line with the addition of SG strings for electric guitar, classical guitar and ukulele. All these products are now available at your local music store.
