This instrument I have kept in my possession. I made it in 1993. This Italian baroque guitar  was based on a drawing in the beautiful  book by Kevin Coates "Geometry, Proportion and the Art of  Luterie" I asked the library at the University to buy the book.  The original is in Paris, and the maker was Christopho Cocko, Venise 1602. My instrument is not a copy but inspired from the original , retaining  the beautiful slender style but with a more minimalistic detailing keeping only the basic features in ebony and mother of pearl.
