These pictures are very nice! I have a baroque guitar which was made for me in Mexico. The stringing is in the traditional folk-instrument style, i.e., from the inside! Which means that having a rose which is permanently affixed is not possible -- one needs to put a hand inside the instrument to restring.
Has anyone ever seen/used/made a 'removable' rose, that would fit into the soundhole but could be taken out? Dr. Candace A.
