History of guitar

The Ancestors
The earliest stringed instruments known to archaeologists are bowl harps and tanburs. Since prehistory people have made bowl harps using tortoise shells and calabashes as resonators, with a bent stick for a neck and one or more gut or silk strings. The picture to the right is a bow insturment that the ancesters used.

The name "guitar" comes from an anciet sanskrit word for "string". Many stringed folk insrutments live in Central Asia till this day which have been used in unchaged form for several thousand years as archeolisgists.

Guitars now are used in my conserts and electric guitars too.
