Ferrinho
The ferrinho (in Cape Verdean Creole ferrinhu /feˈʀiɲu/) is a musical instrument, more precisely a scraped idiophone. It is made up by a metal bar (generally of iron) that is scrapped by another metal object. The bar is held vertically with its lower end held in the palm of the hand of the player, while the upper end leans on the shoulder of the player. With the other hand, a metallic object held horizontally, scraps the bar with up-and-down movements. When it is custom-made, it usually has 90 cm, and a straight-angle section to ease the handling.
The ferrinho is used to mark the rhythm in funaná, a musical genre in Cape Verde.
It is believed that the name “ferrinho” is an adaptation of “ferrinhos”, that is the name by which the triangle is known in popular music in Portugal. In spite of the name, the ferrinho bears more analogies to instruments like the güiro (scrapped idiophone) than the triangle (directly struck idiophone).
