Mariano Fernández, Guitarra Séptima (Seven-course guitar)
2012.569
The Mexican seven-course guitar reached the height of its popularity during the 19th century.  It was used to perform music in a variety of genres, most of it written by Mexican composers. This beautifully crafted instrument by Mariano Fernández epitomizes guitar making in Mexico at its highest level. Inlaid mother-of-pearl, abalone and wood trace intricate geometric patterns and elegant floral motifs on every surface. Just below the bridge, a lyre topped by a Phrygian cap, symbols of music and liberty, connect the guitar to Mexico's Liberal Reform movement and its cultural expression in art and music.
