Beautifully crafted, acoustic PRO cavaquinho with solid wood top and case by APC
Almost half a century of Luthier tradition has gone into this lovely, high-quality cavaquinho made in Portugal. APC specializes in Portuguese stringed instruments, with a focus on high quality standards and excellent sound. This model is also a total eyecatcher! Soft, warm, local woods and the many years of luthier's experience of a family business have resulted in a series of instruments that are rarely to be seen and heard.
Acoustic cavaquinhos are particularly suitable if you play in small groups which do not consist mainly of loud percussion. Excellent sound qualities go especially well with vocals and small sessions or more solid music styles. If you're looking for an affordable cavaco without amplification that is so well crafted that you'll love it for many years to come, this might be the model for you.
Simple design, good mechanics, high-quality finish and brilliant sound, which is particularly resonant due to the solid wood components.
The cavaquinho comes with a semi-softcase, soft padded transport protection and gig bag with backpack straps, handle and separate plectrum compartment.

Handmade quality cavaquinhos from Portugal, beautifully finished and made in Europe
Born in 1951, António Pinto Carvalho, founder of APC Instrumentos Musicais, opened his company in 1976 with the aim of producing high quality stringed instruments.
Already at the tender age of 10, António Pinto Carvalho began to learn the art he still devotes himself to today. Guided and inspired by his grandfather, he built the first cavaquinhos and guitars. Today he is one of the most famous guitar makers in Portugal, the company is still in the hands of his family.
With around 50 employees, APC is the largest national company in this field and produces and sells a wide range of instruments worldwide. Despite its traditional background, the company invests in the latest technology and strives for the greatest possible accuracy and precision in the manufacturing of string instruments. However, the irreplaceable work of a luthier remains important, turning every instrument into a unique piece and defining its beauty and sound. The symbiosis between 19th century craftsmanship and today's technology is the key to the quality and authenticity of every APC instrument.
APC Instrumentos Musicais stands for Portugal's reputation for string instrument making, a country as rich in chords and sound scapes as the string instruments themselves. Genuine Portuguese culture and tradition.
