Bring more beauty and tradition to your musical life with an APC CAVAZUHP Painted cavaquinho.
The APC CAVAZUHP Painted cavaquinho is a visual and aural tribute to Portuguese tradition, inspired by the classic tiles that fill old neighborhoods across the country with color. This cavaquinho brings a piece of Portuguese soul to the stage or rehearsal room in its appearance and sound.
Compact, with a cheerful and vibrant timbre, the cavaquinho remains one of the most distinctive instruments of our traditional music, and this APC model makes a point of proving this from the very first chord.
With a solid spruce top, the sound gains projection and brightness, without losing the natural lightness of its construction. The sapele back and sides help balance the timbre, offering a warm resonance that makes playing more engaging. The synthetic nut and nickel-plated tuners ensure tuning stability, making it reliable for both practice and live performances. The open-pore finish keeps the wood breathing and gives it a more natural and authentic feel, without compromising durability.
This model stands out for its painted tile pattern on the top, making it unique on any stage or in a group of friends. It's a piece that's seen as much as heard, ideal for musicians who like to make a difference and showcase their individuality.
The cavaquinho is a very versatile instrument that can be tuned in a variety of ways, according to different traditions and regions, allowing it to be adapted to the style of each musician or group. Whether for playing traditional music, participating in tuna groups, or creating new arrangements based on popular music, the cavaquinho is always a good choice for those who want rhythm, harmony, and fun in a single instrument.
APC is a reference in the construction of Portuguese instruments, with decades of experience in manufacturing traditional Portuguese instruments. Since 1976, it has dedicated itself to artisanal production using the most modern technologies, maintaining a focus on quality and authenticity. This cavaquinho is part of this heritage and demonstrates how Portuguese savoir-faire lives on, both in its construction and in the music that emerges from it.
The APC CAVAZUHP Pintado cavaquinho is more than just a beautiful instrument: it's a bridge between past and present, with everything you need to accompany you at rehearsals, at popular festivals, or at those moments when a melody is all it takes to brighten your day and that of those around you.
