f the modern guitar be traced to the theorbo/chitarrone by way of the mandora? Is it possible that the theorbo connection explains how the modern guitar idea came to the builders of Spain? Sorry to answer a question with more questions. Fred -Original Message- >From: Monica Hall

h buttons and a strum pad? After all, with the advent of digital sampling, the midi guitar could, theoretically, closely mimic the sound of a vihuela, or any other instrument for that matter. -Original Message- >From: Michael Gillespie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Sep 22, 2008
