介绍（中）	在17世纪，意大利，西班牙和法国南部的业余爱好者使用吉他为歌曲和咏叹调伴奏或演奏独奏曲。在意大利，威尼斯是吉他制造中心，Matteo Sellas是最著名的制琴师。这种乐器的风格带有扇形蛇木肋骨、骨条纹和奇特的蔓藤花纹，是威尼斯琵琶和吉他制作的标志。雕刻的骨斑、几何骨骼和蛇木镶嵌物进一步丰富了这把经过修复的吉他的美感。在 16 世纪末到 18 世纪末之间，吉他有五道双弦，在音孔中放置了装饰性羊皮纸玫瑰，以及通常呈拱形而不是平坦的背面。随着18世纪下半叶音乐品味的变化，许多旧吉他被改装以适应当代品味。该乐器的玫瑰，桥和钉块被移除，并添加了五根单弦。在到达大都会博物馆之前，旧配件被重新引入。
介绍（英）	During the 17th century, amateurs in Italy, Spain, and southern France used the guitar to accompany songs and arias or to play solo pieces. In Italy, Venice was the guitar-manufacturing center and Matteo Sellas its most eminent luthier. The style of the instrument with scalloped snakewood ribs, bone striping and fanciful arabesques are hallmarks of the Venetian tradition of lute and guitar making. Engraved bone plaques, geometric bone and snakewood inlays further enrich the beauty of this restored guitar. Between the end of the 16th and the end of the 18th century, guitars had five double courses of gut strings, a decorative parchment rose placed in the sound hole, and a back that was often vaulted instead of flat. As musical taste changed during the second half of the 18th century many old guitars were refitted to adjust to contemporary taste. The rose, bridge and pegblock of this instrument were removed and five single strings were added. Prior to its arrival at the Metropolitan Museum the old fittings were reintroduced.
