Es: Guitarra renacentista
During the Renaissance, the guitar may well have been used throughout
Europe as it frequently is today.
The renaissance guitar was a four-coursed instrument (although
five-coursed guitars existed); the first was single or double and the other
three double. Having only four courses its unique sound and style are a
result of using so few of them.
Although no historical four-course instruments have survived, it is clear
that their dimensions were fairly small, not only because the pictorial
sources, but also in the music written for it, some of which requires great
stretches of the left hand fingers, extremely difficult to achieve on a
larger instrument.
This instrument used gut strings and moveable frets. The tuning was not
as standardized as lute tuning was at that time. Usually, the thicker basses
were matched with thinner octave strings in order to avoid too dull a sound.

typical of many early guitars in having only four courses.
The instrument has a five ribbed English sycamore and cherry back, a
Swiss pine table, rosewood pegs and fittings and an intricately carved
parchment and cherry rose.
Gut frets tied round the neck allow fine adjustment of the scale to suit
the player.
The guitar is strung with nylon and over wound nylon stringing and tuned
a'a', e'e', c'c', gg.
Each instrument is entirely hand built to special
order by in house craftsmen in our own workshops in Toledo
(Spain) and comes with 12 months warranty. |
