Suporte para o instrumento musical agogô: do projeto à manufatura

Abstract

The growing evolution in the level of presentations in university drumming championships in the state of Paraná increases year after year. An observation made by the drumming group from Londrina's campus was how the traditional way of playing the agogô instrument is already outdated. The rhythm player limits his potential by having to use one of his arms to hold the instrument. For this reason, in order to maximize the performance of the rhythm player in the way of playing the agogô, this work aims to design and manufacture a support that meets such need. The development process of this product used as reference the methodologies of Rozenfeld et al. (2006) and Crawford and Di Benedetto (2016), in which the process is divided into three macrophases, which are predevelopment, development and postdevelopment. As a result of this work, now the rhythm players of the university drumming group of Londrina campus have a stand for the agogô instrument, which will be very well used in the next championships and challenges to come.
