Segovia was also the first classical guitarist to make transcriptions from the Baroque period. He laid the groundwork," explains Carlotta Dalia. In recent years, she has often been heard in recital on the instrument that the masterful guitarist himself played for several years.

There are only two examples of the instrument left in the world - the other guitar of the same design is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,
