Alto guitar (Violin1st&2nd) - The alto guitar is tuned a 5th higher than the prime (classical guitar) guitar. The short scale makes it possible to play high technique music. It is the most popular guitar in the guitar orchestra.
Prime guitar (Viola) - This is the traditional normal size guitar using nylon strings.
Bass guitar (Cello) - It is tuned a 4th lower than the prime guitar and 1 octave lower than the alto guitar. It takes an important part with the alto and prime guitar in a guitar orchestra. The rich sound with strong dynamic is attractive to the human heart.
Contrabass guitar (Double Bass) - As the contrabass guitar is tuned 1 octave lower than the prime guitar, it is possible for a player to use the same music scores. The length of the strings is the longest of the orchestral guitars. The rich sound with a hard core builds a bridge between the bass guitar and the guitarron. It pushes the sounds of the bass family to the back of concert halls.
Guitarron (Double Bass or Timpani) - The Guitarron is tuned 1 octave lower than the prime guitar. The strings are very thick, and the body is very big. The sound is so unique completely unlike the others. It is the most important guitar in a guitar orchestra because the rich and warm sound wraps the whole sound of the guitar orchestra in its deep bosom. It has the same range as the contrabass guitar. The dynamic style of playing attracts people's attention everywhere.
Alto cembalo Guitar – Alto guitar with steel strings. It is tuned a 5th higher than the prime guitar, and creates a splendid sound when played with needles. It is necessary to play baroque music. By changing the thickness of the needles and the position of play, even the sound of the mandolin and the zither can be created.
Prime cembalo Guitar – Normal size guitar with steel strings.
