Spanish Guitar
Classical guitar is one of the famous, multi-stringed musical appliances and it is well
known worldwide. Classical guitar is used primarily as an auxiliary instrument in most melodic
methods. It is said to have originated from Persia but eventually reached Spain during the 20th
century, where its resourcefulness both as a solo and accompanying instrument was established.
It is made of a hollow body with the top and back constructed from pieces of wood that have
been carved and shaped to give a traditional figure. This paper is mainly keen to look at the
Spanish guitar's concise history, the technology used during the construction, and the craftsmen's
socio, economic, and working conditions.
