De Zayas also published a transcription of Sanz (I can't remember how
complete) over several issues of Guitar Review. Handwritten tablature

regular and square (indicating notes from the 4th and 5th courses and

You are after the "Editorial Alpuerto" edition, facsimile + transcription
by De Zayas. ISBN 8438100937 apparently. I do not have it myself,
publisher's website is unhelpful.

It hardly requires imagination, since three stringing different
configurations are known even before we start talking about high Gs,
or guitars in nominal pitches other than

I'm the guilty party re the statement that 'some say 460' for Roman pitch. I
was quoting a harpsichord maker. But I agree that it is generally thought to
be 392-ish, but string lengths on guitars seem to vary considerably, and I
imagine all manner of stringing, tuning and pitch was in use.

Well I disagree with Monica. As she says quite openly, she is
philosophising, and so it's not a question of her knowledge of just about
everything there is to know about the Baroque guitar and its music.
Just so - I wouldn't claim to know everything there is to know about the

Sorry, two corrections:
1. The guitar is from mid-18th not 17th century - at least according to the

Hi Martyn,
A 'deliterious effect in the bass', maybe, but there is no bass below the g,
at least in Sanz's specified tuning. So, no, Martyn, I did not use modern
bass strings. Another important factor is that Sanz does not mention pitch
- we have no idea what pitch he used. Some argue that Roman p

I don't know about charangos - but Sanz has made it into the top ten in
Classic FM's Hall of Fame, played by Xavier Diaz Latorre - using the
re-entrant tuning too.
Evidently listeners who vote for these things don't find the absence of a
bass line a problem.

Eugene,
Your comment about the bray harp (see below) is an interesting one. For
those who are unaware, the 'bray' refers to a bit of wood on the soundboard
of a Renaissance harp which touched the string gently. As the string was
struck it would buzz as it hit against the block. This was the standa
That was an experiment with a high g octave on the 3rd course and no
bourdons anywhere. I would not use a high g again, despite having fun with
it. I've never had a baroque guitar. I had to practice the piece on a
classical guitar, and only got to play that instrument on the day of the
recording. C
