The Guitar in England.Dear Richard;
I found the reference to Corbetta's use of nails. Wasn't Corbetta a teacher of
Granata?

a.. "Interestingly, there is a reference to Corbetta's using nails on the
guitar in his later years. Corbetta is mentioned in the published memoirs of
Adam Ebert (Auli Apronii vermehrte Reise-Beschreibung ... 1723). Ebert
remembers seeing Corbetta at Turin and writes: '...the world-famous guitarist
Corbetta, who taught all the Potentates of Europe, came here from England. But
because he had the misfortune to break a fingernail (and with old folk these
are accustomed to grow again very slowly) it was impossible for him to present
himself at the festival with his consort...'"

However, the history of the guitar and the 'English guitar' (cittern) in
England is not without interest. It is necessary also to look briefly at the
development of the guitar elsewhere in Europe from the Renaissance onward."
