The Rawlins Stradivari Guitar, 1700
|
NMM 3976. Guitar, The
Rawlins, by Antonio Stradivari, Cremona,
1700. The Rawlins guitar is one of
two documented guitars made by the famous Italian craftsman known to
survive.
The other is in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University in
England. A third has surfaced in Italy and awaits
authentication. The Rawlins has five double strings, typical of
the 17th century, rather than the six single strings found on modern
guitars. It is also smaller than today's instruments. Ex coll.:
Louis Krasner, Boston. Rawlins
Fund, 1985.
