Guitar, soprano

This entry catalogues a soprano guitar in the collections of the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts, recorded under the descriptive heading of a soprano instrument of the guitar family. A soprano guitar is a small-bodied guitar pitched above the standard instrument, strung to be tuned higher and used for the upper register in ensemble music and for the brighter, more penetrating tone such an instrument gives. Instruments of this kind are made in small numbers by specialist builders. The museum record identifies the type and the collection rather than a maker or date, so no builder or production period is claimed on this page.
