In recent years the earliest surviving Stradivari guitar has been restored and even brought back into playing condition. The restoration was carried out by the Sinier de Ridder workshop, stabilizing the body and replacing the worm-eaten 19th century neck.
It’s the only one of the five existing guitars that is playable.
The tuning is: A D G B E, the first four (ADGB) are double strings, The E is a single string.
All are gut strings.
