When a uniquemarble guitar weepsOn Fri,day 9th March one of the best guitarists and composers inthe world, Štapan Rak held a show enti'tled .Around the World witha Guitúr,', where he gaue spa guests a demonstration of kis ,,stofie
gu.itar", the only one of its kind, in the world. The packed hallin Ann's Peat Spa was the aenue for a unique concert performance.
The Czech scuiptorJan Reřicha made hisname with his remarkable creations using
minerais. One of the main reasons he siar-
ted making marble musical instruments was
the desire to get the greatest ťesonance
from a material which is more or less consi-
dered the symbol oí siience' The sculptor
claims that the great advantages of thismaterial are its inherent natural beauty, gor-
geous greenish-white colouring and principďiy its mechanical properties, in that it is
sufficiently flexible and easy to grind, ailowing highly precise workmanship.
The first marble violins were made in2003 - known as
..mramorky''. At the end oílast year, after three months oÍ work, he
finished another unique work - a Spanishguitar' Professor Štěprírr Rak was the main
consultant as regards the sound of the
marble guitar and Jan Řeřicha decided to
donate this unique instrument to him - the
most skilled figure in the guitar worid.
Štepan nat, the first ever university professor of guitar in this country, is a pioneer
of the fivefinger guitar technique, which hepasses on to students at řIAMU in Prague
and universities. This classical guitar master
and hear this stone Spanish guitar back at the
beginning of March. Their appreciation of
Štěpiin nak's unmatched skill on the suitarwas evident by the long applause at the end of
his períormance.
The Spanish guitar with its stone body(the neck and bridge are made of wood) ismade from a material known within the sto-
ne industry as Verde Guatemala; its geolo-
gical name is serpentine. It weighs around
15 kilogrammes and fits into a guitar case,
so it has been kept to the proportions ofa classical Spanish guitar. It is tuuly unique!
According to Štěpán Rak' one of the firstadmirers of this stone guitar was, amongst
others, his long-time řiend. the famous
dřector Miloš Forman, who recently paid
a working visit to Prague.
