The Spaghetti Chitarra cutter will cut sheets of pasta into 2mm wide flat noodles (about 1/12 of an inch).
Spaghetti is usually a round noodle, but this creates flat noodles.
Translated from Italian, Chitarra means guitar. Come to find out, a chitarra for making pasta is a simple frame that has a wire that is strung back and forth across the frame and is kept very taught. It's similar to a guitar, except that it has many more strings, which serve to cut the pasta when you lay a sheet of pasta dough over the strings and then run a roller over it, which cuts the noodles quickly in one movement of the roller.
So why does this rolling cutter carry the chitarra designation when it doesn't resemble a chitarra? It's because the noodles represent the same noodles that you would get with an actual chitarra in that they are thin, but flat, unlike round spaghetti.
