JW4113/£24.99 |
| From the birth of the
six-string to the death of Tárrega. This book explores the history of the
19th Century guitar through nine special instruments from The Guitar Museum.
Many mysteries are discussed such as: Was the 1802 Juan Pagés six-course
guitar made for Francisco Goya?, Did the Spanish guitarist Dionisio Aguado
order the extraordinary 1830 René Lacôte guitar?, and Is the C.F.
Martin-Stauffer guitar possibly the first one that he ever made in America?
This book is an excellent read for fans of the classical guitar, filled with
beautiful photographs. 180 pages |
