Very nice, indeed.

Valery, at first I thought "naked arms" was a song! You're right though. You really should wear long sleeves when playing something like this. Sweat and oils in your skin can do damage to the finish.

it is a very brief session....

I would have liked a comment about what music could have been played on this guitar in 1679 when it was built. Italian music most likely. It has a very long neck so many say it could only have been used for the Continuous, but Nastrucci and Krishnasol Jimenez demonstrated that the keyboard allows a certain agility and that solo parts are possible.....so could we think about Foscarini, Corbetta, Roncalli...?

Not so good to play naked arms on such an instrument...

I find that music and that sound very inspirational. Something like it's speaking of ancient times from where it comes

Only natural: Ugo is a composer.
