Sinier de Ridder - La Guitar 2

The Spanish Guitar, 1750-1950


This book written by Francoise de Ridder, Daniel Sinier and Jerome Casanova recounts the history of the Spanish guitar since its origins until 1950.
Ninety-five historical instruments are presented, never seen for the most part, modest or luxurious,
typical of an era, a repertoire but especially a country and a culture.

We see in particular the guitars of Durán, Sanguino, Pagés, Benedid, Pernas, Torres, Santos Hernandez, Fleta.

Françoise de Ridder, Daniel Sinier and Jérôme Casanova share their passion and years of experience.
