flamenco guitar (Guitar used in flamenco)

~ String instrument

Description

Deriving from the classical guitar, it has many modifications and playing techniques to create a more percussive sound. Originally having wooden tuning pegs like lutes and violins, it has a thinner, lighter build with "golpeadores" or tapping-plates and less sustain than the classical guitar.
