Recently, I have had the joy of becomming the Daddy of two beautiful new instruments: a berimbau and an authentic didjeridoo. The berimbau was made as part of my capoeira angola instruction and took the summer for me to make by hand.
Here are a few pics of me playing my berimbau:

"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men.
