I agree with Eugene (see blw), there are no lists as far as I can see on which one would find, say, a discussion of Scheidler's and Molitor's guitar sonates and their relation to the Gallichon?Mandora and from thence the impact of Guiliani in Vienna (it seems that the earlier composers were overwhelmed by what, amazingly enough to us now, was a new guitar style) An 'early guitar' list will probably not attract the 'mainstream' modern guitar players and allow us to develop areas of overlap. Why not give it a probationery period? Martyn

I don't like flame wars and I do like guitars, 4-course to early six stringers and beyond. Posting questions specifically on gut-strung instruments at places like those you list, Arthur, almost never yields any meaningful responses whatsoever; they are flooded with kids who want to emulate the LAGQ, Russell, etc. I think the numbers of people who are interested in actually playing 19th-c. music on 19th-c. instruments are almost as rare as lutenists. It would be nice to have a corner somewhere/anywhere for them/us.
