About This Item

Guitarra Portuguesa

Tendo como origem directa a Cítara europeia do Renascimento, a Guitarra Portuguesa, tal como a conhecemos hoje, sofreu importantes modificações técnicas no último século, tendo no entanto, conservado a afinação peculiar das cítaras e a técnica de dedilho própria deste género de instrumentos.

A Guitarra Portuguesa tem um timbre de tal modo inconfundível que, onde quer que esteja, qualquer português a reconhece aos primeiros acordes. É um instrumento musical carregado de simbolismo e, mercê da sua longa aliança com o Fado, é conotado com o “modo de ser” português, onde destino e saudade são palavras que naturalmente se associam ao trinado. A guitarra portuguesa é um cordofone, cuja caixa harmónica é periforme, constituído por seis pares de cordas com diversas afinações, mas a que realmente se enraizou foi a afinação de Fado.

 

Having as a direct origin the European Zither of the Renaissance, the Portuguese Guitar, as we know it today, underwent important technical modifications in the last century, nevertheless, conserving the peculiar tuning of the zither and the technique of proper guitar of this kind of instruments.

The Portuguese Guitar has a tone so unmistakable that, wherever it is, any Portuguese recognizes it at the first chords. It is a musical instrument loaded with symbolism and, thanks to its long alliance with Fado, is connoted with the Portuguese "way of being", where fate and longing are words that naturally associate with the trilogy. The Portuguese guitar is a cordophone, whose harmonic box is peripheral, constituted by six pairs of strings with diverse tunings, but the one that really was rooted was the tuning of Fado.
