Abstract: In this paper, I focused on the instrumentation of the early choro ensemble and its development since its inception. I demonstrated why early choro began using these particular instruments, which ended up influencing choro style for all future choro variations persisting through today. I explored the capabilities of some of these instruments and how each of them is associated with a functional role in fulfilling different parts of choro. In addition, I documented how some of these instruments arrived in Brazil and why they became so popular in the contemporaneous Brazilian musical scene and remain so through the present time.
