Subject: [LUTE] Dickens' guitar To: [email protected] Date: Monday, 5 November, 2018, 17:20 I know this isn't exactly lutistic, but perhaps someone has some info to share: In Dickens' "Dombey & Son" (1848), a young man is advised to learn to play the guitar (or flute!) to express himself to a particular young lady. What kind of guitar would have been popular at the time? What tunes might he play? Improv to his own ingenious romantic lines? Thanks!
