The Brahms guitar, or cello-guitar, is an eight-string guitar with a conventional resonating body, but also an external, box-shaped resonator. Classical guitarist Paul Galbraith, in collaboration with luthier David Rubio, invented the instrument in 1994. David Rubio's protégé, luthier Martin Woodhouse, innovated the design and continues to build Brahms guitars. Galbraith originally conceived it specifically to perform Johannes Brahms' Theme and Variations, Op. 21.

  • The Brahms guitar, or cello-guitar, is an eight-string guitar with a conventional resonating body, but also an external, box-shaped resonator. Classical guitarist Paul Galbraith, in collaboration with luthier David Rubio, invented the instrument in 1994. David Rubio's protégé, luthier Martin Woodhouse, innovated the design and continues to build Brahms guitars. Galbraith originally conceived it specifically to perform Johannes Brahms' Theme and Variations, Op. 21. The instrument adds two strings to the standard six—a low A (a 5th below the standard low E), and a high A (a 4th above the standard high E), giving A E A D G B E A. The guitar's frets are fanned to allow for the different string lengths. The player holds the guitar like a cello, with a cello-like post from the bottom of the guitar to the box resonator. Other adopters include Joseph Ehrenpreis, , of the Brazilian Guitar Quartet, and Galbraith's former students Redmond O'Toole and . The Dublin Guitar Quartet uses the instrument in their arrangements of Philip Glass, Kevin Volans, and Arvo Part string quartets. In November of 2020, Joseph Ehrenpreis released "New Music with Brahms Guitar, Vol. 1" funded by an IAS grant from the Illinois Arts Council. The project includes entirely new compositions from an international cast of composers, including Dai Fujikura, written specifically for the 8-string Brahms Guitar. (en)

Galbraith originariamente l'aveva concepita specificamente per eseguire il Tema e variazioni Op. 21 di Johannes Brahms. Lo strumento aggiunge due corde alle sei standard: un La basso (una 5a sotto il Mi basso standard) e un La alto (un 4° sopra il Mi alto standard), dando La-Mi-La-Re-Sol-Si-Mi-La. I tasti della chitarra sono aperti a ventaglio, per consentire per le diverse lunghezze delle corde. Il musicista tiene la chitarra come un violoncello, con un puntale simile a un violoncello dal fondo della chitarra alla scatola del risonatore. Tra gli altri che utilizzano questa chitarra figurano Joseph Ehrenpreis, , del e gli ex studenti di Galbraith e . Il utilizza lo strumento nei loro arrangiamenti di Philip Glass, e nei quartetti per archi di Arvo Pärt. (it)
