Studia Instrumentorum Musicae

Studia Instrumentorum Musicae presents some rare resources for those interested in researching historic stringed instruments. I recommend starting with the on-line museum of historic guitars, zithers, and citterns.

The deeper you dig into this site the more treasure you will find.

What took even longer was training termites to create perfectly round holes of the right sizes in the right places.
