As Monica (Hall) reports in her
i assume that with a wide variety of shapes, sizes and
string configurations within the basic, two-bout,
guitar-like structure, the basic set up of south
american chordaphones arrived with settlers from the
old world. to think other wise would suggest that
over the years - 15th cent. and counting
south american sources - folkloristic/andean in
particular - might be of some use to you when
searching for 18th cent. evidence for the placement of
octaves on 4c. and 5c. guitars. the wide variety of
guitar and guitar-like instruments found there today
reflect an earlier precedence - presumably
Sorry, but I don't understand the point you trying to make: I'm asking for
18thC evidence of stringing practice on the guitar. But thank you for your
time.

Thanks Monica,
Just one thing you may be able to help with: in your view do Ferandiere's
stringing instructions mean that the bourdon on the 6th is on the 'bass' side
of the instrument (ie struck by the thumb first)?
