A MYSTERIOUS STORY

Don Antonio, you must not take the secret of your guitars to your grave…”

“…it is impossible for me to pass it on to posterity”

Torres' Papier-Mâché was a unique case in the history of lutherie, not only for guitars: Antonio de Torres (1817-1892), now considered the Stradivari of the six strings, was the first and, as far as is known, the only one to build a Papier-Mâché instrument in 1862. This guitar, paradoxically, despite its apparent humility, produces a fascinating, mysterious and unique sound world. Since the original, preserved at the Museum of Music in Barcelona, is no longer able to express its voice, the album aims to rediscover and revive the peculiar timbral and sonic characteristics of this interesting instrument through the use of two inspired copies.

The luthier Fabio Zontini has taken up the challenge launched by Torres and has been building Papier-Mâché copies for almost twenty years. The two instruments used by Federica Artuso for the recording were made between April and September 2023 and both weigh (incredibly) just 995 grams. They also have natural gut strings. Zontini has thus created a kind of connection with the great Torres, capturing a kind of experiment-prototype by the Andalusian luthier, and successfully trying to spread it to the present day.

The Papier-Mâché is a kind of living contradiction precisely because of the contrast between the humble material it is made of and the artistically surprising sonic result. And inspired by this contrast, an emblematic program of that paradox that embodies the identity of the guitar was recorded, always poised between the humble soul, authentic and popular on one hand, and the Olympus of classical music on the other. The music recorded here is all by guitarist-composers who lived during the time of the cardboard guitar or who had dealings with Torres' instruments. These guitarists are part of that performing tradition and sonic poetics of which the Papier-Mâché is an emblem. Some of the pieces, although written by non-guitarist composers, are part of that repertoire with which the six strings are most identified.

Arcas and Parga* attempted to elevate the guitar to a classical instrument, without managing to completely emancipate themselves from flamenco reminiscences. Their style perfectly suits the archaic essentiality of the Papier-Mâché's sound, and their music, though strongly rooted in popular language, gradually leads us to the bourgeois and salon style of Garcia Tolsa* and Tarrega, pupils of Arcas. Their music is no longer just for those with flamenco blood in their veins or for those who consider opera the only classical music. It is music that appeals to intellectuals, and if it allows for dancing, it does so on the condition that it is a salon dance. From the musicians' point of view, unlike his predecessors, Tarrega manages to package expressive impulses into totally complete forms.

Miguel Llobet, a pupil of Tarrega, is known as a composer mainly for his guitar version of the Canciones populares catalanas. The part of the program concerning him also features a repertoire of which he is not the author, but which faithfully represents him and where all the innovations brought by his creative flair, which bring out what is most characteristic of the guitar, are evident.

Maria Luisa Anido was a pupil of Llobet, as well as his partner in a guitar duo. The Argentine musician was among the last guitarists in the 1950s to use gut strings - by then difficult to find - and, among other things, owned Tarrega's Torres (1864, FE17). Anido is the emblem of the guitar's image as a watershed between the world of folk music and that of classical music, a dichotomy that will probably never be fully resolved. This is demonstrated by her irresistible transcriptions of great classics such as Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and her South American pieces, pulsating with indigenous energy.

My dogs favorite toy EVER
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I have a Belgian Malinois who loves any and every toy, but this one is definitely her favorite. She will walk around the house constantly carrying it in her mouth, which is honestly adorable to watch. The squeakers only lasted a couple of months, but I don’t really consider that a downside—I’m kind of grateful they didn’t last forever given how much she plays with it. It still remains one of her most-loved toys even without them. My only word of caution is that if you work from home, this toy makes a lot of crinkling noise. And I mean A LOT. It’s great for keeping the dog entertained, but it can definitely get a little frustrating for humans trying to focus or take calls. Overall, it’s been a big hit in our house and easily one of her favorite toys.

Super cute
Color: Bunny (Mauve), Size: Small
Super cute and fuzzy. Definitely perfect size for a puppy and not too loud. The fur is very soft and the nose is sown on not a hard piece that can be chewed on. Very good quality too.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.
