Some brazilians commenting here were confused because you play with nylon strings and without pluck... But I must say the result is really nice!

Many tks for your post.. I never tried to play cavaquinho, i'm a brazilian. I own one in 1976 - spruce and brazilian rosewood all solid. Never played it. This instrument have been closed at wardrobe for 34 years! Thinkig what to do with it , so today i'd tried Aquila Nylgut UKULELE strings and it performs very nice. BUT God.. my cavaquinho deserves a better future seeing you,,you shed a light on it,, really!

Eu acho que è uma pena deixar seu instrumento fechado no armario (que parece ser de boa qualidade lendo o seu comentario)! Eu sou italiano, mas descobri esse instrumento frequentando o seu pais. Não deixe o cavaquinho morrer (um instrumento como violão ou seus "parentes" precisam ser tocados para o some deles não fique fraco e nao se estrague), de uma chance a ele! :-).
Obrigado pelo seu comentario.

I love the nylon string sound on the cavaco. - Are there different gauges for the timple strings?

Yes, there are.
Actually I found the gauges a little bit small for the cavaco. So the string tension is not optimal, and tends to let them too soft.
