I visited this museum in the summer. They have an english guitar by Longman & Broderip (mentioned in the norwegian language info) that looked very much like the one in this link:
http://www.studia-instrumentorum.de/MUSEUM/ZISTER/0628.htm . The info also named Nicolai Benjamin Aall and his daughter Inger (possibly as past owners? unfortunately I don't know norwegian) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolai_Benjamin_Aall >From my tourist understanding of Norwegian history there were very strong commercial and cultural ties between Norway and Britain in the 18th century, and it would make sense for this instrument to have been introduced directly from Britain to Norway, rather than via Denmark.
