Tonante, initially called Ao Rei dos Violoes Limitada (To the King of Acoustic Guitars in English), was started in April 5 of 1954 by the Portuguese brothers Abel and Samuel Tonante who artisanelly built musical instruments, thirty years after their arrival in Brazil. Tonante is well known for making highly affordable stringed instruments in Brazil, together with companies such as Giannini, Del Vecchio and Di Giorgio.Tonante is particularly important to the Brazilian musical history because during the militar dictatorship (1970's) there was a policy of Import substitution which forbade or severely restricted imports. People bought Tonante guitars because they were cheap like nothing else. At the time Giannini, Del Vecchio and Di Giorgio were the brands of choice if you were at least a bit serious about owning a good acoustic guitar. Giannini, Snake and Finch were the main choices for electrics. Tonante was one of the companies who helped popularize stringed instruments in Brazil, and many people began playing on Tonante guitars.
