restringing guitars

meanwhile horsemouth has nipped into town with his dad to pick up some guitar strings for the classical guitar he found on the way home one night (left out on someone's front garden wall and thus clearly intended as a donation to the common good). he’s lubed up the tuning gears (er... the machine head he believes) and restrung it, disassembling and putting back together a recalcitrant tuning peg - so far he’s only tuned it up to a d while he waits for the tuning to stabilise.

best outcome - he’s got a new guitar (to add to his collection and replace the almeria bm nylon strung guitar on which he recorded most of the musicians of bremen stuff. worst outcome - he’s got a temperamental, difficult to tune, guitar that he can leave at his parents for when he comes to visit.







internal label was squareish but is long gone (is there any chance of identifying it from the rosette or machine head my guitar peoples?)

it will now be added to the horsemouth guitar museum.
