Hello all,
This is not, strictly speaking, a lute question,
but I know a number of list members are into this, so
I thought I'd toss it out to the general population.
Ignore if you hate guitars.
I'm toying around with the possibility of getting
a 19th century guitar. I've researched a bit, but I
wonder if anyone would be interested in offering their
opinions regarding the relative merits of different
makers and types i.e. Panormo, La Cote, Stauffer,
other? - here I'm talking about modern instruments
based on the above.
I'm wondering, too, if it might not be worthwhile to
look into a 6-COURSE guitar to play that little-known
transitional repertoire before Giuliani and Sor.
Finally, can anyone recommend a site as reputable
as Wayne's Lute Page for buying one of these things?
Contact off-list, please (or on-list if you think
it would be of interest to anyone).
Chris
