Bring the essence of Cape-Verdean music to your compositions with this Standard Guitarrico from Thomann. This instrument is an elegant four-string version of the timple, a 'native' of the Canary Islands. This guitarrico is tuned to g-c-e-a within one octave. The spruce top provides sounds with a high fundamental-to-overtone ratio and helps retain clarity even when subjected to a heavy attack. The Australian blackwood fretboard renders excellent projection and volume. The back and sides of the guitar are constructed out of sapele, a tonewood variety suitable for a wide range of playing styles.
