12-string set of plain steel and silver-plated wound strings for the Guitarra Portuguesa.
The La Bella GP200 Guitarra Portuguesa 12-String Set features plain steel and silver-plated would strings with loop ends. The Guitarra Portuguesa is a small teardrop-shaped Portuguese cittern used in "Fado" music. The two different types of Guitarra Portuguesas are distinguished by their size, heads, and tunings. La Bella has provided an extra 012P plain steel string as an optional plain sixth course octave for Coimbra tuning, in replacement of the wound 018W for Lisboa tuning.
