Posted by: Luthval

Video duration: 165 seconds

This is the first video with the guitar I receive this week. I have done some repair (as it was damaged...) and put strings and play for the first time today... So the piece is really easy (I have not play classical guitar since 1980...) and the playing is not really good... I play with no nails.
This is just to show this little guitar from 1880 to 1920 ? who knows?
