APC Instruments -GS BAR BK - Baritone Guitarlele Black
Half guitar, half ukulele, the guitalele is a nylon mini string guitar. It has the dimensions of a baritone ukulele, and plays like a standard guitar, since the pitch is a quarter above the traditional guitar pitch: A - D - G - C - E - A. That is, it is like playing a normally tuned guitar but with a fifth fret indent. Or as if it were a ukulele with two more bass strings.
APC was founded in 1976 by António Pinto Carvalho, who descended from a century-old school of luthiers in Porto. The company has about 45 artisans who build several types of traditional Portuguese instruments and chordophones of other origins. APC is the largest national company in this field, producing and selling instruments to more than twenty countries. All instruments are manufactured in Portugal and sold worldwide.
The company invests in the highest technology, seeking the greatest possible rigor and precision in the construction of chordophones. Do not forget, however, the touch of each “luthier” on each instrument, making each piece a work of unique beauty and sound. The symbiosis between the craftsmanship brought from the 19th century and the technology of today is, therefore, the key to the quality and authenticity of each instrument.
