One other point that I think should be mentioned before we draw to an end is
that, often, the film Captains Courageous, is the first time some people
become aware of the HG. I remember some years ago, several threads asking
for the dots.
It was certainly my introduction to the instrument albeit many years ago and
notwithstanding my involvement with the "Folk revival" back in the 60's. You
just never saw one (at least I never did) anywhere despite performing in and
running Folk Clubs through the 60's to the 80's.
This often happens with "unusual" instruments. I was one of the few players
of the Northumbrian Small Pipes outside the NE of England in the 70's (and
my pipes had to be made to order by one of the very few makers back then).
Fortunately the more "obscure" instruments (the ones that make people say
"what's that") have made a marvellous surge in the last 20-30 years.

Hi, Leonard,
Yes, I would be delighted for you to send the pieces.
I should probably jump off the list with this cavaquinho topic now but
certainly welcome any further off-list thoughts from folks.

A little off topic, but you might find some 16th c. Spanish pieces
(Alonso
Mudarra for one) for four-course guitar. I have some in tablature that I
could send you if you're interested. Tab is easy to learn, if you don't
already know it.
Regards,
Leonard Williams

BTW I've just had a relapse of AMIS (Acquisition of Musical Instruments
Syndrome). Just bought a Brazilian baritone ukelele (its 4 strings are a
subset of the 6 strings of a guitar) and am learning simple tunes. Lots
of
fun, at least as much as one can have without a drone.
