The Guitar was developed across Europe from the 12th century onwards. Modern Guitars usually have six strings. Their vibration is transmitted to the body of the Guitar via a sound board. Air inside the body vibrates and increases the sound.
The Baroque Guitar was played between 1600 and 1750. It usually has 5 courses and 9 or 10 strings, with frets fastened around the neck like a lute. It had a much narrower body and longer scale length than the modern classical guitar.
This instrument was made around 1650 by Pietro Railich, a German luthier who worked in Venice, Italy (at first as an apprentice to Matteo Sellas). It has 10 strings in 5 courses.
Guitars are assigned the number 321.322-5 in the Hornbostel Sachs classification of musical instruments indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonators surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.322 = Necked Box Lutes. Instruments in which the resonator is built up from wood.

Gaaaah~! I've been dying to use that SD violin ever since HKDP9, but couldn't—at least, not until it was properly introduced. Hurray for finally making this photostory! ♥
Remember how it was the Madame who enrolled little Frei to violin classes, and how she bought him a violin. Then remember how Ave sent Frei to the Atelier, and then stole the violin from House Zia. Now, the Madame once again bought a violin for Frei, challenging Ave to try and pull the same stunt seven years ago.
That's what happening, when preparing the photo stuff for a planned trip and the music stuff is still around in the living room.
This is the head of my old guitare, with some strings still from years ago.
The shot was taken with bellows and a Noflexar 60mm/4 lens.

This is simply a Lily pulled from a house plant and placed inside my grand piano on it's strings. Used a floor lamp as lighting.

Both cooked and uncooked, along with roast pork and intestines filled with organ meats. I only had the quail ($5) and prefer the ones from Zorba's vs the other vendors (who also sell them cheaper). I find that there is more meat on these little critters and they are less, uh, overly cooked. The surprise on this particular visit was to find one of my building's concierge here working the spit. I guess he's Greek! (I'd also like to secretly think that he chose a nicer bird for me). :)
