MANTELA

In this phase, the mantela is prepared. The mantela has a double function: it is used as a drumstick holder and as a guiro (grater).

The mantela is cut to the correct length. Then the attachment points of the drum are marked on the mantela. Using the multitool, the 4 holes are drilled + attachment hole of the cork. The cork is cut to size and anchored in the mantela.

The mantela is also used as a drumstick holder

WHAT DO YOU NEED IN THIS STAGE?

The rasping sound of the mantela is ideal for Latin music.

1. Attachment points.

A breaker knife is used to cut the mantela to a length of 19 cm.

The attachment points are transferred from the Taurom. Make sure the mantela is about 3 cm from the top of the drum.

Two holes (one lower and one upper hole) are drilled in the mantle using a multi-tool with a 4 mm drill bit.

We rotate the mantela about 30 degrees to drill the other 2 holes.

At the end, about 1 cm from the edge, drill a fixing hole for the cork.

THE MANTELA

Mantela means mantle and refers to the mantle tube. The mantela is based on the guiro. The guiro is a percussion instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd. It has two holes cut on one side and parallel grooves cut horizontally along the other side. It is played by rubbing a wooden stick or scraper along the grooves to create a rasping sound. The scraper is usually made of a small block of wood with metal teeth. It can also be made entirely of wood, metal, bamboo, shell, bone, ceramic or plastic. The size of the güiro can vary widely, but it usually ranges from 12 to 16 inches long. Traditionally, this instrument is believed to have been invented by the Taíno Indians, although some claim it was created and brought to Puerto Rico and Cuba by the Arawaks. Variations of the guiro are played throughout Latin America and are known by many different names, such as Guira, Ghicharo, Guayo, Rayo, Calabazo, Ralladera and Rascador. The güiro is widely used in Latin American music and plays an essential role in many typical rhythm sections. The guiro is a percussion instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd.

In the Arawakan language, a language of the indigenous people of Latin America and spoken throughout the Caribbean by groups such as the Taíno, güiro referred to the fruit of the güira and an instrument made from the fruit of the güira.

2. Fixing the cork

1. Look for a matching coin that nicely matches the diameter of your mantela.

2. Cut the cork about in half.

3. Place the coin in the centre of the cork and cut off the remaining part. Work slightly tapered so that the cork enters the mantela smoothly.

4. Place the cork in the mantela and press gently. Then insert a wood screw into the mantela.

THE HISTORY OF CORK

The history of cork dates back 60 million years, but cork only really began to have its influence in the 17th century, when Dom Pierre Perignon discovered that cork was an ideal solution for sealing his wines. This was the reason for the start of cork industrialisation and slowly but surely cork gained popularity. Today, cork is used in so many industries that one loses count.

WHERE ARE THE CORK TREES

The cork trees or “Querqus Suber” cork oak grow through south-western Europe and into north-western Africa in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Of all these countries, Portugal has the largest collection of cork oaks. Moreover, Portugal is the world leader in cork production.

THE HARVEST SEASON

The first time the cork oak is harvested is when it is 25 years old and the trunk circumference is 70 cm, measured 1.3 metres from the ground. Follow-up stripping/harvesting of the cork takes place every 9 years between May and August months. The cork oak can be stripped 15 to 18 times at 9-year intervals throughout its life.

SUSTAINABILITY

Because it grows back over time, the cork oak is an invaluable renewable natural resource. It is probably one of the most extraordinary trees known to the world because of its number of qualities. Cork trees prevent soil degradation and make the soil more productive. Moreover, it regulates the water cycle, fights desertification, and improves biodiversity.
Summarising the value of cork oak is actually almost impossible. Our responsibility is to ensure that we continue to take good care of the cork oak so that we can continue to reap its benefits for a long time to come. So let’s protect and cherish our nature – in the end, it is all we have.

MANTLE TUBE

This flexible casing pipe with pull wire is made for the protection of (data) cables and gas and water hoses. The casing pipe with pull wire is very suitable for incorporation in concrete, after which hoses and cables can be pulled through at a later stage of construction using the pull wire supplied.

A casing pipe with pull wire is used, for example, for passing under or through an obstacle such as a foundation, wall, road or other obstacle. The casing pipe allows cables and pipes to be laid during renovations or replaced during maintenance, without having to remove or demolish obstacles.
