Description

The violão de fado Artimúsica VF40C is the perfect accompaniment to the Lisbon fado guitar (portuguese guitar).

The fado viola is a fundamental instrument to support the melodic lines and flourishes of the Portuguese guitar. This model is more than a fado guitar and we are not just talking about quality.

The Artimúsica VF40C is a steel string fado viola with a shape similar to a classical guitar but with larger dimensions (acoustic guitar). The larger box offers a more present sound, maintaining all the clarity and articulation necessary to be heard with great volume and definition.

It is a very solid instrument, manufactured with all the knowledge and experience of the artisans at Artimúsica, one of the Portuguese brands that best understands the needs of fado musicians in Portugal.

The wood used in its construction offers a warm tone that fits perfectly with the tone of the Portuguese guitar from Lisbon. The top of the Artimúsica VF40C is made of solid cedar wood. The back and sides are made of walnut, also solid, and the neck is made of mahogany.

For tuning, the Artimúsica VF40C has nickel chimes, to stay in tune and provide reliable support for other musicians.

With a simple and discreet appearance, the Artimúsica VF40C is aesthetically appealing with the light tones of the woods standing out. It is an instrument to be used intensely, to accompany fado everywhere, from the most typical taverns to the most renowned stages.

Founded in September 1992, Artimúsica is one of the reference brands in the artisanal construction of traditional Portuguese instruments. It is a family business, which follows the construction method started by master Joaquim José Machado, more than 100 years ago. Today, their descendants manufacture each instrument as if it were a true work of art, making each piece unique, of high quality and enormous musicality.

The Artimúsica VF40C fado guitar is an excellent choice to add depth to the accompaniment of national music.
