Hey Malle your spelling is not bad, couple errors. J.S.B. one of my favorites but have not been listening to any music for some years. Too bad about your uncle and looks like more than sounds, recording is not real good, but sound that does come thru seems he was quite accomplished, wish I could play that good. Do you know if the guitar had plastic or steel strings. I'm guessing steel. I liked when the camera showed the fingering. The piece he played I know I have a recording of but don't recall the name. The only little bit of classical I know is Pachelbel which is only chords. Can't do that complicated fingering like your uncle. Clif

It's a classical guitar and they sometimes use cat gut for them, or more often, nylon and/or fluorocarbon polymers :)

I have a cheap classical guitar with nylon, there I said it though I always forget that word. I like the sound and its not as loud in my right ear when I play. The high E string on steel strings some time gets my right ear.

He played on a regular guitarr not a stealstring. It was always a joy when we played together, he become blind the same year i was borned 1974 but he never gave up not with music or hes dream to become a priest 1980 he had finnished his university studies in teologi but was rejeceted buy the Swedish state church, we had a state church until 2001. But 1983 finally the bishop in Västerås gave him the right to become a priest. I was there on the cermony. 1985 he confirmed me along with bishop emeritus Tomas Söderberg and 2006 he married me. 2017 i carried his chest to his grave and 2018 hes wife. To persons who gave me hope talk about all about faith and i was always blessed when i was with them.
