Pastaschneider for Pasta Alla Chitarra/Guitar

Pastaschneider for pasta alla chitarra / guitar 

Now it is getting really traditional. In the Abruzzo (east of Rome on the Adriatic and in the Appenins), Spaghetti Alla Chitarra - "Alla Chitarra" "significantly significantly". Here you will find such a guitar to make Spaghetti. 

This guitar is a wooden box, over which, like a real music guitar, tight metal strings are tensioned. The pasta dough band is placed over these strings and pressed against the wires with a pasta roll, the spaghetti falls down in stripes in square form. 

Our guitar is covered by both sides. The strings are closely covered on one side, approx. 2.5 mm, i.e. for thick spaghetti or if the dough tape is very thin tagliolini. On the other hand, the strings are at a greater distance, approx. 5 mm. Ie on this page you can make tagliatelle alla chitarra. 

Material: made of beech wood, untreated. Saites from Inox (stainless steel/food -safe). 

Manual work from Italy. 

The growth direction of the beech wood leads to almost Allen guitars when sawing out the tension slots, at this point to these small bumps. These small rougher areas are not a defect, but a sign of manual work according to the manufacturer. 

Just rub it down and spread out with a brush so that the guitar does not warp.
