Description

The Portuguese guitar Artimúsica GP72C is the jewel of graduation in fado from Coimbra. Luxury model, with top quality finishes.

The GP72C is a Portuguese fado guitar from Coimbra for music lovers from the city of students, built in Portugal by Artimúsica, one of the most representative brands in the manufacture of high quality traditional chordophones.

Artimúsica is recognized for the expertise and knowledge of its artisans, for the choice of selected materials and for the dedication that it applies to all instruments, each one of them a unique piece of art.

The GP72C fado guitar is an excellent example of the best that Artimúsica knows how to do. The top is in solid spruce, which gives it a distinct tone and aesthetic, with a bright and well-defined timbre. The back and sides are made of rosewood, also solid, a luxury wood found in high quality instruments.

The neck is in mahogany, with an ebony fingerboard, a wood recognized for its distinctive appearance and high strength, another material used only in higher range instruments.

The decoration of the Artimúsica GP72C makes it an object of art, in addition to a musical instrument. The mouth is decorated with great taste, and the binding with two friezes highlights the shape of its body, in the shape of a pear. It features a teardrop-shaped volute, which represents the melancholy of the students, identifying the Coimbra fado guitar.

The Portuguese fado guitar from Coimbra is different because it has a longer scale for the phrasing of Coimbra ballads. The tuning is a tone below the Lisbon tuning, being A G D A G C, from the high strings to the low ones.

Founded in September 1992, Artimúsica is one of the leading brands in the artisanal construction of traditional Portuguese instruments. It is a family business, following the construction method started by master Joaquim José Machado, over 100 years ago. His grandchildren, the masters Manuel Carvalho and José Carvalho, manufacture each instrument as if it were a true work of art, making each piece unique, of high quality, and full of tradition.

The Portuguese guitar Artimúsica GP72C is a luxurious model, perfect for all those who are well trained in the soul of Coimbra fado.
