APC Portuguese Cavaquinho

APC Portuguese Cavaquinho Pre-Owned with solid spruce top

This is a pre-owned APC Portuguese Cavaquinho, a traditional Portuguese four-string instrument. The cavaquinho is a staple of Portuguese fado and folk music and also forms the basis of the Brazilian cavaco. This example has a solid spruce top, with sapele back and sides.

In practice, you'd reach for the cavaquinho mainly for rhythmic accompaniment: its bright, penetrating tone cuts well through an ensemble. Thanks to its compact size, the instrument is light and easy to carry, pleasant for anyone getting acquainted with this type of string instrument or looking for a second, portable instrument alongside the guitar.
