Portato III is another instrument meant for two-handed tapping. The entire shape was completely worked out by our customer. The guitar was designed by him for playing in a seated position, which is the reason for its extraordinary shape. The guitar’s structural integrity is perfectly balanced as it lies evenly on the player’s left thigh; therefore the position remains stable during practice or performance. The body’s shape eliminates the need for locks, strap locks and other fasteners. The idea behind the design of the Portato III was to obtain maximum comfort in playing and sitting (similar to classical guitarists). As a result, playing the instrument is not as difficult as most might think. All instruments in the Portato line are characterized by a warm, mellow tone and are well suited to a wide range of music styles – especially classical and jazz.
