The Guittar in the British Isles, 1750-1810

2011

Abstract

The guittar, now commonly known as the 'English guittar', is a small plucked instrument which was widely used in the British Isles from the middle of the 18 th to the beginning of the 19 th centuries. Appearing in a variety of shapes and sizes, and having essentially wire strings and an open major tuning, it was more related to the cittern, and quite different from the Spanish guitar. Being cheap, elegant, and relatively easy to play, the guittar quickly became popular among amateur musicians, especially upper-class ladies. In addition, the guittar was at the forefront of mechanical and technical invention, and especially the later types of the instrument were often fitted with several innovative devices that found use on other contemporary or successor instruments. This thesis refines the results of past research concerning the guittar by undertaking a critical review of the relevant literature, and by introducing new data collected during the detailed examination and comparison of numerous surviving guittars in museums and private collections. The results are supported by the investigation of a wide variety of primary sources, including literary references, newspaper advertisements, patent records, legal documents, music scores, and iconographical evidence. The research has led to the establishment of a methodology for the documentation and classification of extant guittars using a prototype template, and to the creation of various reference databases for the future study of the instrument. This thesis is the first complete study of the guittar in the British Isles during the second half of the 18 th century. It presents the most important facts and figures related to the origins and development of the instrument, while documenting and highlighting its main historical, musical and technical features, with emphasis on aspects of design, construction and decoration. Additionally, this thesis examines the guittar's social and cultural role as a predominantly domestic female instrument, and also brings to light new interesting details about the establishment of a guittar trade within and outside the British Isles. Finally, it accounts the main reasons for the decline of the guittar and also identifies its significance in the wider fields of musicology and organology, indicating possible relations and influences with other contemporary musical instruments across Europe.

Additionally, in the novel The Vicar of Wakefield Goldsmith, describing a romantic incident between the vicar's eldest daughter and Mr Thornhill, writes: Mr Thornhill seemed highly delighted with their performance and choice, and then took up the guitar himself. He played but very indifferently; however, my eldest daughter repaid his former applause with interest, and assured him that his tones were even louder than even those of her master. 140 while the same daughter would later confess: '[...] he is well enough for a man; but for my part, I don't much like him, he is so extremely impudent and familiar; but on the guitar he is shocking'. 141

Longman & Co. in London. 217 In addition, Thomas Thackray, also of York, composed music for the guittar, including his Six Lessons for the Guittar (Figure 3.46) published around 1770 by Haxby. Interestingly, the list of subscribers for his guittar lessons includes musicians, music teachers and music dealers in London and several other provincial cities, like Leeds, Durham, Nottingham, etc. 218

  25. For more details on the list of subscribers in Thackray's Lessons see 'THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GUITTAR TRADE' Chapter 5. Spanish guittar', showing that the two instruments co-existed for some time. For example, Lawrence (1999: 217, Appendix 1) has listed A Collection of Songs, Rondeaus, Waltzes, Marches and Dances, for the guitar, pianoforte guitar, or the new invented Spanish guitar […] by T. Bolton (c.1800) 281 , while Page (2011: 8) has listed a method titled Instructions for the Harp, Lute, Lyre, Spanish and English Guittar (anonymous, c.1805-10), indicating that these instruments most likely shared the same tuning and playing techniques. 282
  26. Likewise, several immigrant musicians and music teachers from France, coming to England shortly after the Revolution, advertised lessons on the Spanish guitar or English guittar in London newspapers. For instance, an announcement of 1789, mentions Mr. Grumaille, a 'Professor of the Cistre, Spanish guitar and English guittar', residing in Soho; 283 ; in 1793
  27. Monsieur Brillaud de Lonjac, residing in Marylebone, taught the 'guittare Angloise' 284 , while in 1796 J. A. Stevenson advertised as 'Professor of the French and English Guitar […] (formerly a Pupil to the celebrated RITTER […])'. 285
  28. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the pianoforte had already taken its place among the polite society already by the 1770s, overshadowing other keyboard instruments like the harpsichord or the spinet.

  29. I am grateful to James Westbrook, who, as part of his Ph.D. research at the University of Cambridge regarding guitar- making in 19 th -century London, was keen to exchange a great amount of information and indicate a number of important sources relating to the decline of the guittar by the end of the 18 th and the beginning of the 19 th centuries. According to Westbrook (PC, 5/4/2011), many extant small-sized gut-strung Spanish guitars made in London in the late 1790s have seven or eight courses and were probably tuned to open C, like the wire-strung guittar, the harp-guitar or the Apollo lyre. In addition, in his paper 'Who made the first Spanish guitars in London?', presented at the 'First Cambridge Colloquium on the Guitar in the Early Nineteenth-century', Sidney Sussex College, University of Cambridge, 4-6 April 2011, Westbrook noted that one surviving gut-strung guitar made around the end of the 18 th century has capotasto holes, drilled on the neck but now blocked, similar to those on guittars. This is another indication that the instrument was possibly tuned and played like the wire-strung guittar, the harp-guitar or the Apollo lyre, and was altered later, when the tuning in C was abandoned in the early 19 th century. Futher evidence comes from the Instructions for the Harp-Guitar and Apollo Lyre by T. Bolton, in which he states that 'small Spanish Guitars can be tuned in a similar manner', meaning in open C, as quoted in Armstrong (1908: 31, footnote 2).

  45. JOHN PRESTON, Of Banbury-Court, Long-Acre, London, GUITTAR and VIOLIN-MAKER, BEGS Leave to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, and others, That he has lately found out and invented a new Improvement, or Instrument , for Tuning of Guittars […] The Manner of Tuning the above Guittars is by a small Watch Key, which is done Instantly, and will keep the tune in that Order for a Month together, unless altered. […]. 427
  46. Preston's address at Banbury Court is also mentioned in a directory of 1774. 428 However, by 1776 Preston had moved his business to a more central location, working at 'No.105, Strand, near Beaufort Buildings', from where, according to Kidson (1900: 106), he published 'books of Lessons for the guitar'. In an advertisement of 1778 Preston described himself as 'Guittar and Violin-maker, and the original Inventor for tuning the guitar with a watch key'. 429 In 1785 Preston had already established a 'Manufactory' at No. 97 Strand, as well as a 'commodious Second-Hand Musical Instrument warehouse' at Exeter-Change nearby. 430 Around this time his trade card announced: PRESTON / MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MAKER, / And Original Inventor of the Machine / For Tuning the Guitar, with a Watch Key, / AT HIS MUSIC SHOP / Sells all sorts of Musical Instruments, Finest Quality, Roman / and Violoncello Strings & every Article in the Musical Branch / wholesale Retail & for Exportation on the most Reasonable Terms. / NB. INSTRUMENTS REPAIRED & TUN'D. 431
  47. As late as 1786 Preston continued advertising as 'Guittar-maker and original Inventor of the machine for tuning with a watch-key', while additionally referring to his 'new patent piano forte guittars'. 432
  48. The details presented above suggest that within 20 years, from the mid-1760s to the mid-1780s, Preston had expanded his business considerably, not least because of his involvement in the

  53. Longman & Broderip, used stamps as an easy and inexpensive way of advertising their work 611 and, at the same time, as a method of protecting their designs against imitators. For example, in an advertisement from 1766 Preston, announcing his invention of the watch-key machine, asked the public to 'beware of Counterfeits, as the Proprietor signs his Name on the Belly of the above Guittars'. 612
  54. Likewise, in an advertisement from 1785 Claus promoting his new-invented 'Royal Patent Forte Piano Guitars' advised the public 'to observe, that the Patent Instrument is distinguished from all others, by being stamped on the Front with His Majesty's Arms, surrounded with the Words Clauss and Co. Inventors, London, Patent Instrument; and also stamped below the Bridge with the Address of the Patentees, No. 7, Gerard-street, Soho'. 613 Moreover, in an advertisement from 1787 regarding their 'Patent Piano Forte Guitars' Longman & Broderip mentions that they 'have obtained his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for their great improvement of those instruments, being made to play with keys'. 614 Indeed, there are many surviving guittars by the aforementioned manufacturers with stamps on the soundboard corresponding to the descriptions given in the above advertisements (Figure 6.66).
  55. Many extant guittars by Preston bear his name on three different areas, usually on the front and back of the head and on the front of the watch-key machine, with the clear intention to be easily visible and detectable. In addition, the initials 'JR' or 'PR' under the crown, stamped on the back of the head on numerous Preston guittars, may have been a clever marketing trick; as will be shown later, the letters look quite similar to 'GR' which stands for 'George Rex' meaning 'George the King', thus indicating Preston's association or endorsement by the royal court, which would increase his reputation and sales among potential customers. Apparently for similar marketing reasons, Liessem and Hintz often marked their guittars with two stamps, one on the top of the back and the other on the back of the head.

  59. Figure 7.34: The initials 'R W' (left) stamped or engraved on the top of the watch-key machine (right) on an unsigned keyed guittar. Historisches Museum, Frankfurt, [X4336]. The design and dimensions of this machine are identical to EUC [3709] which is also engraved 'R W' on the top. As Epstein (1927: 14) has pointed out, the maker of these machines is probably Robert Wornum (1742-1815), a London violin maker, music publisher and seller, possibly of German origin. 705
  60. Wornum, who is listed by Doane (1794: 71) as 'Wornum, Violin & Violoncello Maker.-No.42, Wigmore St.', was working at Glasshouse Street, from 1772, and later at 42 Wigmore Street, near Cavendish Square, from c.1777 until 1815. The fact that his initials are found on unsigned guittars, as well as on the guittar NMI [1913.393] by Preston mentioned above, suggests that Wornum possibly supplied watch-key machines to various guittar manufacturers, including Preston himself. Another maker that could have produced these machines is Robert Woffington, a piano maker working in Dublin, who had a partnership with the guittar maker William Gibson. Nevertheless, 705 During the early 19 th century Wornum's son, also named Robert (1780-1852), produced gut-strung Apollo lyre guitars which had a similar tuning as the guittar. However, he is best known as a piano maker and as the inventor of an action that is regarded as the forerunner of the modern upright action.

  61. 4 THE INTERNAL PIANO-KEY MECHANISM
  62. 4.1 THE PATENT INTERNAL PIANO-KEY MECHANISM BY CLAUS The first attempts of fitting a piano-key mechanism on a guitar have been credited by several writers to Anton Bachmann 731 or to his son, Carl Ludwig Bachmann 732 , both makers of instruments of the violin family working in Berlin who In 1780 […] designed a kind of guitar with keyboard which had a mechanism placed with on the right side of the body, which allowed the striking of the strings with small keys. This instrument had very little success. 733
  63. However, the earliest surviving patent related to the keyed guittar belongs to Christian Claus 734 , who in 1783 invented an internal piano-key mechanism for the guittar (2 October 1783, Patent No. 1394). The patent description and drawings by Claus are presented below (Figure 7.62). A.D. 1783.-No. 1394. Clauss' Improvements in Guitars CLAUSS' SPECIFICATION. TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, CHRISTIAN CLAUSS, of Frith Street, in the Parish of Saint Ann, Soho, in the County of Middlesex, Musical Instrument Maker, do send greeting.
  64. See, for example, Gai (1969: 148) and Jalovec (1965: 118). According to Jalovec (1965: 118) Anton Bachmann (1716- 1800) was the supplier of musical instruments to the Royal Court in Prussia.
  65. For more details see Helm, E., and Elste, M., 'Bachmann, Carl Ludwig' in Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy <http://www.grovemusic.com> (accessed 26/1/2010). Bachmann has also been credited with the improvement of a worm- gear tuning mechanism for double basses which he introduced around 1778.
  66. See Fétis (1835: 26). The original French text reads: 'BACHMANN (CHARLES-LOUIS): [...]Il imagine aussi vers 1780 une espèce de guitare à clavier qui portrait vers la droite de la table un méchanism au moyen duquel on faisait frapper les cordes par de petis marteaux. Cet instrument eut peu de success […]'. The translation of the French text was kindly provided by B. Lamboul.
  67. Christian Claus (also mentioned as 'Clauss' or 'Clause' in contemporary documents) was a German instrument maker working in London. According to Groce (1991: 31) Claus was probably a native of Stuttgart who, like other makers of German origin, had settled in west London sometime before 1783. Claus was working at Frith Street in the Parish of Saint Ann, Soho, when he obtained his patent in 1783. For more details on Claus see also Appendix I. HAY-MARKET / LONDON' on the back of the neck. 772 In addition, the rose has the monogram 'A R L.', while the inscription 'T. B / July / 1798 [and] D. P. x' is handwritten in ink on the hammer mechanism. Two other keyed guittars by Longman & Broderip have survived, one in private ownership, the other in the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, [S 13] (Figure 7.111). The interesting feature of these two instruments is that they both have the names and address of Longman & Broderip engraved on the brass key cover, and in the case of the second instrument, also on the brass rose. 773
  68. 772 It was a common practice for Longman & Broderip to stamp both their 'common' and keyed guittars on the back of the neck. For example, a keyed guittars by Longman & Broderip stamped 'LONGMAN & BRODERIP / NO. 26
  69. CHEAPSIDE & / NO. 13 HAYMARKET / LONDON' belongs to the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, [324845].
  70. However, a keyed guittar by the same manufacturers, in the Gemeentemuseum, Hague, bears the inscription 'Sold by Longman and Broderip'.
  71. This feature has been presented in 'MAKERS' IDENTIFICATION FEATURES', Chapter 6.
  72. numbered '34', '113'(also labelled 'B66'), '130', '146' (also labelled 'B101'), '188', and '257', respectively, the key mechanism is equipped with dampers, whereas on GNN [MIR 857], numbered '178' (also labelled 'B14'), the key mechanism has no dampers. Furthermore, the damper activation system is found on guittars MUL [627], MUL [628], MMS [F439], and MMS
  73. numbered '113', '146', '188', and '257', but not on MBR [1552], numbered '130'. It is possible that the examination of more instruments of this type could provide some new evidence on the purpose of this numbering system.
  74. shortly after the invention of the internal piano-key mechanism for the guittar by Claus, an external piano-key mechanism was developed. However, this device was first intended to be used not on the guittar but on a new instrument called 'The British Lyre', invented in 1784 by William Jackson (20 August 1784, Patent No. 1449). Jackson's patent, which provides the earliest reference relating to the invention of an external piano-key mechanism for a plucked stringed instrument, reads: A.D. 1784.-No. 1449. Jackson's Stringed Musical Instrument JACKSON'S SPECIFICATION TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM JACKSON, late of Vine Street, Lambeth Marsh, in the Parish of Saint Mary, Lambeth, in the County of Surry, Musician, but now of Oxford Street, in the Parish of Saint Ann, Soho, in the City and Liberty of Westminster, Musician and Musical Instrument Maker, send greeting.
  75. I, the said William Jackson, had, after much study, found out and invented a certain new musical instrument, which I […] call "THE BRITISH LYRE" […]

  80. Moreover, apart from the guittars mentioned above, a similar unsigned egg-shaped guittar is equipped with an unsigned key box with seven keys (Figure 7.147). 792
  81. A guittar with similar features belonging to the Museu Instrumental, Lisbon, has been presented in Lambertini (1914: 26).
  82. For more details of this guittar see Christie's auction catalogue of 16 June 1999, lot 13, p. 42.
  83. Clagget, Charles, Musical Magazine No. 1 (as quoted in Lawrence 1999: 18-90). Lawrence (1999: 20) suggests that the keyed instrument mentioned above possibly refers either to a keyboard instrument or the keyed guittar, which was invented around that time.

  85. Entry for 'Guitar' in the Third American Edition of W. Nicholson's British Encyclopedia: Or Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, 1819 (Philadelphia: Mitchell Ames White) (as quoted in Rossi, D., <http://www.cetrapublishing.com/citterncafe/?cat=13>, accessed 17/3/2009). same time Longman & Broderip had published Chilini di Asuni's New and Complete Instructions for the Piano-forte Guitar. In addition, in 1795 Felix Chabran published his 'Compleat Instructions for the Spanish Guitar' noting that he is a 'teacher of the Spanish & Pianoforte Guitar & Violin […]' 803 , while around the same year R. Birdchall published Six Favourite Songs and Six Rondos by Sigr. Pleyel, And a Select Collection of Lessons, Airs, Minuets, Allemandes &c. To which are added Some French & Italian Songs Adapted for the Piano Forte Guittar By F. Chabran. Teacher of the Spanish & Pianoforte Guittars […] (Figure 7.152). In addition, in 1799 Goulding & Co announced that 'In a few days will be published, a Collection of Music for the Guitar, Piano-forte Guitar, or new-invented Spanish guitar, consisting of Songs, Rondos, Marches and dances […]'. 804 These details suggest that keyed guittars were taught and played similarly to common guittars, as well as Spanish guitars, and most of the music was probably composed interchangeably for these instruments. 805
  86. See Tyler and Sparks (2002: 239). Felix Chabran was a musician and music teacher from Piedmont who had settled in London around 1782. Chabran is listed as 'Chabran, Felix, Violin, Ro So Mu, Oper, Abb,-No.16, Wardour-Street.' in Doane (1794/1993: 12). Notably, Chabran's instructions for the Spanish guitar follow the style and outline of the Instructions for the Guitar published in 1758 by R. Bremner. Futhermore, it is interesting that in several pieces Chabran advocates thumb fretting of the bass strings (indicated with the symbol 'X'), with the left-hand thumb placed over the guitar fingerboard.

  88. However, the phrase 'several Pieces of New Music adapted to this Instrument' in Claus's 1785 advertisement, mentioned earlier, probably implies variations or alterations of the established techniques to allow the performance of guittar music on keyed instruments. Around the end of the 18 th century keyed guittars became popular in Spain as well, a fact well documented in several contemporary advertisements. For instance, this is how French instrument maker Juan Puyol advertised his arrival and establishment in Madrid on 18 November 1790: Juan Puyol, of French nationality, a master builder of organs and other instruments, who has arrived from London, informs readers that he has settled in Madrid, on the ground floor of 5 Calle de la Ballesta, manzana 369. He makes organs […], barrel organs, English-style fortepianos […], double basses, and English guitars played with keys. He makes Spanish-style guitars, which are played with keys like the English ones and can at the same time be played in the Spanish way. 816
  89. This advertisement clearly shows that the concept of fitting keys on instruments was so fashionable at that time that keys were even used on 'Spanish-style guitars'. The next year, on 4 June 1791, the same maker announced: Juan Puyol, maker of organs, English-style pianofortes, organized and plain, also English guitars with keys and various other instruments, who from the Parisian school went to that of London to perfect himself in the building of such instruments with good taste, has established himself in Madrid [. . .]. 817
  90. See Kenyon de Pascual (1983: 216). Around that time English instruments had gained a reputation of high-quality manufacture and elegant style; as Kenyon de Pascual states, 'The fame of London as a piano-building centre induced many foreigners to visit it to gain experience and to study the latest developments'. Thus, it was a common practice among musical-instrument makers, such as Puyol, to mention their staying and training in London in order to increase their status and attract potential clients. Puyol also described himself as 'the maker who has arrived from London' on 8 February 1791.
  91. See Kenyon de Pascual (1983: 216). Puyol continued to advertise similarly over the following two years. 818 The following excerpts come from the Diario de Madrid, an 18 th -century daily newspaper in Madrid. The text is presented as translated and quoted by Kenyon de Pascual (1983: 299-308) in her article dealing with sales and makers of non-bowed string instruments in Madrid during second half of the 18 th -century. According to Kenyon de Pascual (PC, 30/9/09), to whom I am grateful to for bringing this important source to my attention, there are no more such advertisements in the Diario de Madrid between 1795 and 1799.
  92. Indicative of this situation are the following comments when the author asked details about guittars in two major musical instrument collections: 'You are most welcome to study the five guittars in the collection [...]. There is almost nothing in our files on these instruments. There are by far the most neglected area of the collection […].
  93. ', by Jon Whiteley, Department of Western Art, The Ashmolean Museum (PC, 8/2008), and 'I've pulled the files out for all of our English guitars, and there is really very little in them, since you are one of the first people to show an interest in these instruments!', by Arian Sheets, Curator of Stringed Instruments, National Music Museum, The University of South Dakota, (PC, 9/2008).
  94. Details of these activities have been mentioned in Chapter 1.
  95. For instance, Andy Rutherford has recently produced a technical drawing of his Preston/Thompsons guittar, while Martina Rosenberg and Makoto Tsuruta have both constructed copies of Preston's watch-key machine from original guittars in their ownership. Details of these works have been presented in Chapters 6 and 7.
  96. Although one can still find guittars auctioned for a few hundred pounds, the more elaborate or rare instruments may cost up to a few thousand pounds.
  97. Over the last three years the author has been contacted by various museums to provide results of his research for use in reference studies or for the publication of catalogues. BUCHINGER, JOSEPH Biographical information and business details: b. 1750, fl. 1775 -1811, d. (?). Also mentioned as 'Buckenger' or 'Buckinger'. Musical instrument maker, music publisher and seller possibly of German origin working at No. 443 Strand, London. The earliest known instrument by Buchinger is a guittar signed 'Joseph Buchinger / London 1775', mentioned in Vannes (1951: 46), in the
  98. Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart. According to Humphries and Smith (1970: 91)
  99. Buchinger was 'in partnership with Mrs. Elizabeth Carr, widow of Benjamin Carr, musical instrument maker of old Round Court, Strand' until September 1782. Buchinger had been apprentice to Rauche, since a printed label in a violin, mentioned in the Hill Archives (WA 1992.643.1, p. 58) bears the inscription 'Joseph Buchinger / late apprentice to Michl Rauche'. In 1785 Buchinger succeeded Rauche, as evidenced in an advertisement in the Morning Herald of 20
  100. January 1785, in which he announced: 'Buchinger No. 443 Strand […] being the only successor to the late Mr. Rauche, whose guittars ever justly bore the preference, he continues to make them of the same pattern, having purchased his tools and utensils'. Buchinger is listed in Doane (1794/1993: 10) as 'Buckinger, Joseph, Bass, Viola, Music-Seller, New Mu / Fu, Abb. -No.443, Strand.', while around 1805-6 he had a brief partnership with Sharp as 'Buchinger & Sharp'. Holman (2007: 16, 20) mentions that Buchinger, who was 'esteemed the best performer of the lute in Britain', was the father-in-law of Barry, a London manufacturer of gut-strung plucked instruments, such as harp-lute-guitars or Apollo lyres, around the end of the 18 th and the beginning of the 19 th centuries. Notably, Barry worked in partnership with Edward Light (1747-1832), listed as 'Light, Edward, Alto, Violin, Harpsichord' in Doane (1794/1993: 41), a musician, music teacher and inventor of the harp-guitar, harp-lute-guitar, harp lute, and dital harp, who had taught and published music for the guittar in the 1780s. Surviving guittars: 2 • 1775: Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart, [?] • (?): Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, [S 1]
  101. Alloway, Ayrshire, [3.4565], the second dated 1758, in the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, [S16].
  102. The partnership with Hoffman probably dissolved after 1758, since there an extant guittar, included in Sotheby's auction catalogue, 20 March 1980, lot 232 , p. 77, is inscribed 'Rauche London 1759'. Rauche's fame as a guittar maker must have grown considerably around 1760, when in her guittar tutor Ann Ford (c.1760: 9) mentioned that 'The neatest Work, and the best toned GUITARS I have hitherto seen, have been made by Rauche.' Around 1760 Rauche was working 'at the Guittar and Flute' in Chandos (or 'Chandois') Street, Covent Garden; a surviving guittar by Rauche dated 1760, listed in Phillips auction catalogue, 13 May 1976, lot 32, p. 6, is signed 'In Chandos Street London 1760'; likewise, a guittar included in Bonhams auction catalogue, 23 June 2009, lot 24, p. 10, is signed 'Michael Rauche at Chandos Street, London, 1761'. Another guittar by Rauche dated 1761, listed in Sotheby's auction catalogue, 22-23
  103. November 1989, lot 145, p. 45, is also stamped by Preston, suggesting that it may have been later altered to receive a watch-key machine. Rauche is listed in Mortimer's London Universal Directory from 1763, quoted in Dart (1949: 31), as 'RAUCHE, Michael, Chandois-street, Covent-garden'. From this address Rauche published music principally for the guittar, including Rudolf Straube's works Lessons for Two Guittars with a Thorough Bass (1765) and Three Sonatas for the Guittar (1768), which was 'Printed for and Sold by, ML RAUCHE, in Chandois Street'. Additionally, Kidson (1900: 109) mentions that around 1770
  104. Rauche & Co published Thirty-eight Lessons, with an addition of Six French and Italian Songs, for the Guittar, composed by F. Shuman, op. ist, London, printed for and sold by Michael Rauche & Co., at the sign of the Guittar and Flute, in Chandois Street, near St. Martin's Lane. Rauche worked in Chandos Street at least until 1771 since a guittar signed 'Ml. Rauche / In Chandos Street / London 1771' is mentioned in the Hill Archives (WA 1992.643.2, p. 73). Moreover, from a surviving trade card in the Hill Archives (WA 1992.643.2, p. 73), which reads 'Guittars, Mandores, Lutes, Mandolins / Violins, Basses &c. / Made and Repair'd by Rauche & Dickenson / at the Music Warehouse / at the Guitar and Flute / in Chandois Street / London', it has been identified that while in this address Rauche worked in partnership with Dickinson, although no guittars or other instruments from this partnership are presently known. in the second edition of his tutor Estudo de Guitarra António da Silva Leite (1796: 26, footnote 6) described Simpson as the best maker of guittars in England. Surviving guittars: 2 • (?): Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, [957. Dv4]
  105. • (?): Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, [89.2.167]
  106. SMITH, (?) Biographical information and business details: English manufacturer of external piano-key boxes for guittars working in London, c.1785. Nothing is known about Smith, although he may have been related either to Joseph Smith, the harpsichord and piano maker, included in Boalch (1974: 165), or to Thomas Smith, musical instrument-maker to the Duke of York, mentioned in Langwill (1949: 42). Around 1785 he probably developed a brief partnership with William Jackson, since surviving guitar by Thompsons, listed in Sotheby's auction catalogue, 19 July 1968, lot 44, p. 14, is equipped with an external-piano key mechanism bearing the inscription 'Jackson & Smith / Patent Box London'. Surviving guittars: None. However, numerous external piano-key boxes mounted on surviving guittars are stamped 'SMITH'S PATENT BOX / LONDON'. STEWART, NEIL Biographical information and business details: fl. 1759-66. Also mentioned as 'Steuart'. Scottish musical instrument maker, music publisher and seller working 'at the Violin and Guitar', Edinburgh, c.1765, as mentioned in Humphries and Smith (1970: 301). According to MacKillop (2004: 142) in 1766 Stewart published 'A New Collection of Scots and English Tunes Adapted to the Guittar […] Printed & Sold by Neil Steuart at his Music Shop Opposite the head of Black fryers Wynd, Edinburgh, where may be had the following Instruments: Violins, Flutes, Spinits, Guittars at all Prices.
