Add sparkle to your traditional Portuguese folk music with the Artimúsica CV11C cavaquinho, featuring a reed-shaped soundhole and a small bell, as tradition dictates.
The Artimúsica CV11C cavaquinho is a very simple and accessible instrument, manufactured with the tradition and quality of one of the most important Portuguese traditional instrument makers. Artimúsica uses the best materials and applies all the knowledge and experience of its artisans in the construction of its instruments, following traditional standards in current manufacturing methods.
The Artimúsica CV11C is a prime example of Artimúsica's quality craftsmanship. The top of this cavaquinho is made of solid basswood, while the back and sides are solid walnut, cherry, sycamore, or Australian mahogany. The neck is made of poplar, and the fingerboard is made of panga panga, a wood widely used for its strength and durability.
The Artimúsica CV11C cavaquinho is a discreet instrument that has all the traditional characteristics. This simple model has a ray-shaped soundhole, as is the tradition in the construction of this instrument in the Minho region, and tuning is ensured by a carillon system.
The light wood contrasts perfectly with the understated, typical-lined decoration that outlines the body and rim, and has a glossy finish.
