  1. Paul Chabot

  2. Where did the word GUITAR come from???

  3. My favorite enigma in the history of stringed musical instruments is when did the FRET first appear?

  4. What about the origins of the term LUTHIER?

    In the renaissance period we come across the pre-runner of todays steel string, an instrument called a cittern

  5. It is obvious to me that many of the terms are derived from an animal...

  6. First pictorially depicted stringed instrument in human history... (including lyras harps etc.)

  7. The absolute "oldest" instrument with neck & fingerboard that I can find 2500 BC

  9. Guitar-shaped Lute

  10. Theorbo or Lute?

  11. Archlute
