The lap steel guitar, also known as a Hawaiian guitar, is a type of steel guitar without pedals that is typically played with the instrument in a horizontal position across the performer's lap. Unlike the usual manner of playing a traditional acoustic guitar, in which the performer's fingertips press the strings against frets, the pitch of a steel guitar is changed by pressing a polished steel bar against plucked strings (from which the name "steel guitar" derives). Though the instrument does not have frets, it displays markers that resemble them. Lap steels may differ markedly from one another in external appearance, depending on whether they are acoustic or electric, but in either case, do not have pedals, distinguishing them from pedal steel guitar.

  • Genuoŝtalgitaroj estas genro de gitarglitado, tiel nomataj ĉar gitaroj estas fasonataj por esti muzikataj plate, sur la genuoj de la muzikisto, kaj ĉar la unuaj konstruitaj ofte havis ŝtalan korpon. La muzikisto pinĉas la kordojn (ofte per plektro) unumane kaj aliamane variigas la altecon de la sono glitante sur la kordoj. Tio permesas krei glitsonojn. Nuntempe, la plejparto de tiaj gitaroj estas elektraj kaj preskaǔ ne havas korpon, ĉi tiu limiĝantas je rako al la mikrofonoj. (eo)
  • La lap steel guitar, también conocida como guitarra hawaiana, es un instrumento musical con seis cuerdas y por lo tanto de la familia de los cordófonos, más concretamente de la familia de las steel guitars. Suele utilizarse en diversos tipos de música pero lo más usual es encontrarla en la música hawaiana, el country, el bluegrass y la música folk americana. Es un instrumento que se suele tocar en afinaciones abiertas y con un "tone bar". (es)
  • Eine Lap-Steel-Gitarre oder Hawaiigitarre ist eine akustische oder elektrische Gitarre mit Stahlsaiten, mit oder ohne Resonator. Anders als beim gewöhnlichen Gitarrenspiel wird sie vom sitzenden Gitarristen auf den Schoß (englisch lap) gelegt; die Saiten weisen nach oben. Die Saiten sind am Sattel erhöht, so dass sie nicht gegriffen werden können. Die Lapsteel (Kurzname) wird in einer offenen Stimmung (Open Tuning) gestimmt. Die linke Hand greift nicht, sondern spielt diese Form der Slide-Gitarre mit einem massiven Metallstab oder Rohr (Steel Bar). (de)

  • L'expression anglophone lap steel guitar (traduisible littéralement par « guitare jouée avec une steel bar à [poser sur les] genoux ») désigne soit une forme de guitare électrique, dérivée de ses deux cousines acoustiques, la steel guitar ou Dobro (terme venant de la marque des Dopyera brothers, considérés comme les inventeurs de ce type d'instruments, il serait plus approprié de dire résonateur ou résophonic), guitare acoustique à caisse faite tout, ou pour partie, en acier, et équipée de résonateurs, et la guitare hawaïenne, soit, plus simplement, une façon particulière de jouer de la steel guitar ou de la guitare électrique traditionnelle, posée à plat sur les genoux plutôt que jouée parallèle au corps, comme une guitare traditionnelle. (fr)
  • La lap steel guitar (chiamata anche semplicemente lap steel, o "chitarra hawaiana") è un tipo di chitarra steel, che si suona da seduti, appoggiata sulle gambe (lap, in inglese, vuol dire effettivamente "grembo"), sprovvista quindi di meccanismi a pedale. Per estensione il termine si applica allo stesso strumento, anche se sostenuto da una consolle o tenuto all'altezza del ventre da una cinghia più corta del solito. Vi sono due tipi fondamentali di lap steel: Generalmente le lap hanno sei corde ma si trovano modelli a 7, 8 e persino 10 corde, talvolta dotati di più tastiere indipendenti. (it)
