Beautiful Thanks!
You should post a picture. You know guitar nuts always like to see a picture of a guitar. At least I do...
Haha, I agree with your father. I just got a pretty nice instrument and I'd hate to leave it in the closet like some sports car you only take out to polish. So here's to beatin the hell out of it. Thanks for the advice on cleaning.
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 ...
Sounds great man. Thanks for the vid.
Good job !!!

It will depend on what your Baroque Guitar is finished with but plain water is one of the safer options. I would give the detergent a miss and see how you fair with the damp cloth. The safest option is to try and find out what was used to finish t...
Anyone got some good ideas for cleaning the baroque guitar. My Luthier told me to just use a damp cloth with some light laundry detergent and I'm a little reluctant. Does this sound OK?
The other problem I am worried about is that I'm starting to ...
It's sad huh. There was a lot of music there too.
If you are thinking about retyping the whole thing..., maybe a version in Italian or French tab might help... modern guitar tab is OK; but you knowyou are playing a transcription the very moment you start reading.
