Baritone guitar


Baritone guitar - a variation of the standard guitar, with extended mensuration, which allows for lower tuning. As the first baritone guitar, it was introduced in the late 1950s by The Danelectro Company. However, it was not initially popular among musicians and listeners. Still, the instrument began appearing in surf music and as a backdrop for many movie tracks. You can also hear him in country music (Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, George Jones, Willie Nelson), who often duplicates the concubine. Baritone was playing the opening track of the song "Woman from Liberia" by folk-pop singer Jimmie Rodgers. Recently, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Barenaked Ladies have been using it.

Standard tuning of normal guitar is EADGHE. Baritone guitars are usually tuned lower (ADGCEA), lower quarter (HEADF # H) or lower octave (EADGHE). Gretsch, Fender, Jerry Jones and other companies produced baritone guitars, albeit in smaller quantities, due to low interest.

Baritone guitars have the body of a regular guitars, but longer mensuration, which allows for lower tuning without too dramatically changing the tension. The standard of the guitar is between 24.75 "and 25.6", and the thickness of the six strings varies from .010 "-. 047" to .013 "- .56". These parameters for a baritone guitar are respectively 27 "-30" and between .016 "- .070" a .017 "- .080"
