<p>I acquired this in a ruined state and have restored it (mostly needed mastic edging redone and was missing many of the ivory frets so I replaced with bone). Unmarked. Flamed maple body. I believe it is Italian circa 1800-1810. Note the fingerboard is fully inset. </p>

<p>Hi Everybody, I need some assistance with details on this guitar. There is no long any inscription inside the body. It has Baker tuning machines. It was aquired at auction but the previous owner has since passed on. He said the guitar was 19th century.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any help greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Well, I have an early lyre guitar that seems to never had more than 12 frets. It's perfectly playable, with great action, so would of course be nice to have frets running up the body (as on another lyre I have by another maker similar age). But I absolutely don't want to add any if it never had any. </p>
<p>Any guess as to why this has just 12 frets? I've attached a closeup to prove my point that there never seem to have been any...I assume that if some bone or ebony frets had been laid on…</p>

<p>Any guess as to why this has just 12 frets? I've attached a closeup to prove my point that there never seem to have been any...I assume that if some bone or ebony frets had been laid on with glue or shellac to attach, there would be the shadow of them on the (probably just waxed polished) top, and I see nothing. Am I wrong in this, or was this a model meant for "permanent beginners" who would never need those upper frets?</p>
<p>By the way, if you're curious, I've also attached the label (duplicated under each sound hole and with the curious date of 18011 as I've noted in previous posts).</p> Paganini: "Variazioni di bravura" (on Caprice No.24) for violin and guitartag:earlyguitar.ning.com,2019-12-13:2111060:Topic:818392019-12-13T20:09:32.319ZThomas Tallanthttp://earlyguitar.ning.com/profile/ThomasTallant
<p>Can anyone tell me if it is known for certain that Paganini composed the guitar part for "Variazioni di bravura" (on Caprice No.24) for violin and guitar? Does an autograph MS exist proving that Paganini composed the guitar part, and not that another guitarist added it later?</p>
<p>Thanks, Thomas</p>

<p>Could anyone direct me to any early to mid 19th Century pieces for guitar and two voices? In particular, I would like to find pieces for tenor and mezzo-soprano, or tenor and soprano. Being able to access pdf files would be especially helpful, or to know who sells any collections.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for any help folks might be able to send.</p>

<p>Enjoying my new Ren guitar, sent from the builder with Nylon top and the rest Carbon Fiber (never a favorite of mine on lutes at least). </p>
<p>Assuming I'm not going gut with this one, what have people found to be the most enjoyable alternatives on a 4 course?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks</p>
