Early Guitars and Vihuela

A network for historic guitars and vihuelas

Here is another recording on a six course guitar. Peruvian guitarist Javier Echecopar Mongilardi recorded pieces from 18th century (Peruvian!) sources on an original Benedid guitar from 1811.

Hi, Jelma,

thank you for the interesting additional info.  I will tell Tsuruta about the previous restoration by Carlos Gonzales.  Tsuruta pointed out that the scale might have been shortened a little during the past repair (not necessarily by C. Gonzales).

The whole background of the Benedid revealed here reassures me what an interesting story is hidden behind a long lasting instrument, obscure or famous.  :)
