介绍（中）	这把装饰精美的吉他也是六弦单声道吉他的早期例子。精心制作的装饰以古典人物、乐器和乌木制成的花卉图案为特色，适合覆盖吉他背面、侧面、颈部和墓石的象牙地面。耶鲁乐器收藏馆的第二把吉他也有同样的装饰，只是相反，这表明装饰是同时通过切割堆叠的乌木和象牙薄层制成的。上背部中央的一幅肖像被认为是乔瓦尼·佩西耶洛的，基于他1791年的肖像。Paisiello是一位歌剧作曲家，他的许多作品都被转录用于其他乐器，他的作品也是吉他手的最爱。指板上覆盖着龟甲，红色油漆上镶嵌着象牙色的色狼，脖子与身体相接。一个雕刻的木制花环可能是一个替代品，周围是一个象牙六边形，镶嵌着乌木装饰的乐器和花朵。装饰风格让人想起17世纪的巴洛克吉他。十八世纪末，六弦单弦吉他在那不勒斯流行起来，并取代了早期的五弦和六弦双弦吉他，传播到欧洲其他地区。Daniel Wheeldon（2016）的技术描述和绘图。
介绍（英）	This highly decorated guitar is also an early example of a six-string, single-course guitar. The elaborate decoration features classical figures, musical instruments, and floral motifs made from ebony and fit into an ivory ground covering the back, sides, neck, and headstock of the guitar. A second guitar at the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments features the same decoration, only in reverse, indicating that the decoration was made at the same time by cutting through thin layers of stacked ebony and ivory. A portrait in the center of the upper back is believed to be of Giovanni Paisiello based on his 1791 portrait. Paisiello was a composer of opera and many of his works were transcribed for use on other instruments and his pieces were a favorite of guitarists. The fingerboard is covered with tortoiseshell over red paint with inlay of an ivory satyr where the neck meets the body. A carved wooden rosette may be a replacement and is surrounded by an ivory hexagon with inlaid ebony decorations of instruments and flowers. The decorative style is evocative of Baroque guitars of the seventeenth century. The six-string, single-course guitar became popular in Naples at the end of the eighteenth century and then spread throughout the rest of Europe replacing the earlier five and six double-course guitars.Technical description and drawings by Daniel Wheeldon (2016).
