The Portuguese guitar in Lisbon is one of three traditional fado guitars in addition to the Portuguese guitar in Porto and the Portuguese guitar in Coimbra. Of the three, it has the most brilliant sound, reinforced by the traditional tuning of Lisbon's Fado in B-A-E-B-A-D, starting from the most acute.
