Craviola

Craviola
12-stringed Craviola

The Craviola is a stringed musical instrument designed by Brazilian composer Paulinho Nogueira and built by manufacturer Giannini.

Craviolas have a distinct asymmetric body shape comparable to an acoustic guitar. Their timbre is a combination of sounds from a harpsichord and a viola caipira, hence the portmanteau (Cravo is the Portuguese word for harpsichord).

Craviolas can be six-string or twelve-string (either nylon or steel) and are produced solely by Giannini.
