harp-guitar

Hola a todos,

I'm looking for the proper and/or most common name in Spanish of this unique musical instrument.

In English, it's called a harp-guitar.

I've checked several Spanish music websites and have seen un arpa-guitarra, una guitarra arpa, and una guitarpa.

Are there any musicians or harp-guitarists in the WR community who can help me?

¡Muchas gracias!

Hello
I play guitar. I think you are optimistic if you want the "most common" name. This is such an unusual instrument that I don't think it has a common name yet.
I personally would go for arpa-guitarra but I don't have any solid reason.

It's not a frequent instrument, as Grubble points out. According to the Wiki, it's called guitarra arpa or guitarpa.

Saludos

Gracias a los dos, Grubble y Lurresko.
