Description
Your idea
Hello,
The Portuguese guitar is an instrument with significant international impact nowadays. It deserves to be part of the default instrument suite.
In order to help, here is a Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_guitar
There are two tunings: Lisboa and Coimbra.
I have found the attached XML code, but it probably has bugs, but maybe it is a good basis for someone who really knows how to configure the instruments.xml file.
Thank you in advance.
Problem to be solved
Addition of an instrument that is quite relevant today in the domain of World Music.
