I have a few 19th-c. guitars, originals and copies, but none in the French style. My favorite is an original by Gebruder Placht of Pest, very much in the typical Viennese, Stauffer/Legnani tradition but without an adjustable neck. If it would be of interest--measured as you've requested,

A little late to this chat, but I find the Strizich transcription a bit unwieldy in notating notes along the reentrant a at pitch. It's just hard to know whether notes in the relevant range belong along the a, g, or b string. Best, Eugene -Original Message- From:
