Paolo Schianchi

Paolo Schianchi is an exceptional musician and performer, proficient in all variations of the guitar, from the Renaissance lute to electric guitars, including unique instruments of his own creation.

Notably, he designed a 49-string guitar, custom-made for him by Argentine luthier Carlos Roberto Michelutti, and the Octopus® guitar system. The Octopus® is a one-of-a-kind electro-acoustic system that allows him to play multiple guitars simultaneously using both hands and feet, mixing and manipulating their sounds in real time exclusively during live performances.
