I once bought a Flamenco guitar in Granada (for a very good price) that had a similar bridge. Same form, but more rustic. The luthier told me the bridge represented los cuernos del toro -- I suspect because I was a stupid American. He also said th...
You should post a picture. You know guitar nuts always like to see a picture of a guitar. At least I do...
Actually, I'm finding it easier to improvise on the baroque guitar than I do for the mandore, or even for early music on the modern guitar. I guess I get the benefit of the proper instrument for the music, plus some familiarity with the logic of t...
Well, I'm half Greek, anyway. I try to have clean hands when I play. For me the problem is my sweaty arm and chest. Well, I try to remain calm when I play (not always easy), and always wear long sleeves. The sweat tends to destroy a French polish ...
So it looks like this site is an automatic archive of the original site, with some web crawler going out and finding this stuff. Not all of the collections are available, the De Visee notably being absent.
The CONTACT page lists the following ema...
I just put the following in my browser, and got to this page! Viola!

How cool is that?!
I'm of the benign neglect school. I remember there used to be lemon-oil products out there to polish and oil guitars. It was a rage back in the late '70s... until people started turning their fingerboards into mush. Needless to say, I don't keep t...
I'd be happy to see them. Unfortunately I don't know the ethics. I mean, the music should be public domain, but the effort to pull the tablatures together may not be. I defer to anybody else on this site who might have an educated opinion.
Have you tried using the fuller URL. For example, if the tabs are on the archive page, maybe the URL is www.baroqueguitar.net/archive... Would any URLS like that work?
Wow... I tried to go to baroqueguitar.net, and it seems to be spoofed by a disreputable site. If you're easily offended, I suggest you don't try to visit it for the time being. Is that what you mean by hit or miss?
Ouch! Really good.
Hi Chris, both instruments look very nice!
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I currently have a mandore, which is a tiny 5-string lute. I'm working on the tablatures by Francois de Chancy -- You can hear a few attempts that I posted. Also jumping into the baroque guitar. I finally have a nice instrument by Carlos Gonzales -- nothing fancy, but it plays very well, and I believe the sound is superb.
I was introduced to the joys of playing Baroque music at la Semana de Musica Antigua, held annually in Gijon, Spain.

Fábio Vianna Peres said… - Hi Chris,
I'm new to baroque guitar too and with the same questions you have about stringing. The discussions you started have been very useful to me.
I think Sanz sound better without the "bordones" too.
I've found here in this network very good example of Sanz layed without bordones. Go to Xavier's profile and check his website. There are some great recordings there and you can find more on youtube (only audio).
He uses the high g on the third too in the capricho arpeado and sounds great.

But I know that that is a lot to ask in the cruel world of early instruments. ;)
