Guitolão (original) (raw)
The Guitolão is a chordophone exclusively designed by one of the masters of Portuguese guitars making, the luthier Gilberto Grácio. He started to develop the prototype instrument, originally built for Carlos Paredes in 2001, and only 3 types were made. The term Guitolão, is a match from the lexical between Portuguese Guitar and Violão (Guit + olão). Although, there are some connoisseurs who have tried to undo this neologism, but the use of the term makes sense because the initial idea was to create an instrument similar to a Portuguese guitar, but without the need of an accompaniment instrument (typical from the famous Portuguese musical genre, Fado). So while this is not the most correct terminology, however, is the one that makes more sense.

| dbo:abstract | The Guitolão is a chordophone exclusively designed by one of the masters of Portuguese guitars making, the luthier Gilberto Grácio. He started to develop the prototype instrument, originally built for Carlos Paredes in 2001, and only 3 types were made. The term Guitolão, is a match from the lexical between Portuguese Guitar and Violão (Guit + olão). Although, there are some connoisseurs who have tried to undo this neologism, but the use of the term makes sense because the initial idea was to create an instrument similar to a Portuguese guitar, but without the need of an accompaniment instrument (typical from the famous Portuguese musical genre, Fado). So while this is not the most correct terminology, however, is the one that makes more sense. After a long process of calibration and calculation of the length of the vibrating strings to have the correct measurement, allowing a perfect pitch, this instrument becomes a balanced soloist guitar type, with huge richness in harmonics, largely due to the increased length of the string (from the bridge to the nut are 24,4 inch). Another important aspect is the dynamic response from the 12th fret of this instrument, that the normal Portuguese guitar does not retain. (en) O Guitolão é um instrumento musical que foi apresentado pela primeira vez ao público a 18 de Junho de 2005. Foi idealizado por Carlos Paredes e construído por Gilberto Grácio e apenas dois exemplares foram construídos. Na opinião de António Eustáquio o Guitolão não é um instrumento construído para o acompanhamento do fado. Apresenta como principal característica o facto de ter uma grande extensão tímbrica, na qual se podem obter notas muito graves mas também agudas dando-lhe possibilidade para o surgimento de um repertório novo e, porque não, um repertório clássico, com transcrições de música erudita.
