@mim_phx: It's not every day that you hear a 425-year-old guitar come to life! Historical guitar specialist Jon Mendle joined us to demonstrate one of two known instruments by the Portuguese luthier, Belchior Dias. This exquisite instrument is the oldest known surviving full-size guitar. It represents the fascinating origin story of the guitar we know and love today. Gift of the Robert J. Ulrich and Diane Sillik Fund #instrument #guitar #museum #history
Now we know why Keith Richards only plays 5 strings. Familiarity.

Tolgahan Çoğulu has innovated a moving-fret system that allows for intonation similar to these moving frets. So interesting we've been solving the same problems in different ways for hundreds of years

As a Portuguese-Canadian guitarist who’s also named Dias, learning about this guitar as a kid made me want to play classical guitar. I want to go see it some day.
