My Guitar Notes

Gitarr

Gitarr is the Swedish word for the guitar, and this entry catalogues a guitar held in the collections of the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts. The museum, in Stockholm, keeps a wide range of stringed instruments, including guitars from several periods and traditions, and records of this kind document the instrument's presence in the collection without necessarily identifying its maker. The guitar itself is built on the traditional lines of the instrument: a wooden body with a soundhole, a fretted neck, a bridge and a set of strings, in the form established in Europe and later developed into the many types used today.
