Thanks, Tony.  Intriguing.

If this has been said previously, I've missed it.  Regondi was active in 
England at that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulio_Regondi

Best,
Eugene

    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!
