A requinto guitar, also known as Quarte guitar,[1] is a smaller version of a classical guitar, with a scale length between 52-54cm. It is tuned a fourth higher than a standard classical guitar, to A2-D3-G3-C4-E4-A4.[2][3][4] They often, but not always, have a cutout to reach the higher frets.

Use

[edit]

Its creation is attributed to Alfredo Bojalil Gil (El Güero Gil), from Puebla, Mexico, who was the third voice and requintist of the iconic trio Los Panchos.[5][6][7] The requinto is used in songs of the Mexican culture like boleros and corridos, and in Latin America, where the requinto plays a very big role in popular music.[8] In Mexico it is used in trío romántico groups.[9]

The requinto guitar is traditionally used in guitar orchestras, along with other sized guitars.

Requintos made in Mexico have a deeper body than a standard classical guitar (110 millimetres [4+1⁄3 in] as opposed to 105 millimetres [4+1⁄8 in]). Requintos made in Spain tend to be of the same depth as the standard classical.[3]
