It is called, &#8220;The Sabionari&#8221; and was made by Antonio Stradivari himself in 1679. The guitar is owned by a private collector and was one of only a small number of baroque guitars made by the master luthier.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip, you can hear guitarist Krishnasol Jimenez\u00a0perform a beautiful rendition of Robert de Vis\u00e8e&#8217;s Music dedicated to the Sun King in 1682. The guitar has been fully restored\u00a0with four double Catgut strings (A D G B) and a single E string. The action is unique and gives it an almost lute-like sound.<\/p>\n<p>To think that this guitar has been around for over 300 years, surviving countless hands, wars and even time itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>#LUDWIGVAN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Want more updates on Toronto-centric classical music news and review\u00a0before anyone else finds out?
