Last year, on July 20, 2023 I found out where in Madrid these could be purchased and the prices, yesterday, September 4, 2024 I learned of the Parisian shipments early on, as the Dionisio Aguado invention initially was announced on May 16, 1838. There are 14 mentions of this device in the dailies all the way to May 20, 1853. In the newspaper image page the text will be found in the right column, just below the the center. To find the original large article, scroll quite a bit down, I have written 50 articles since then DIONISIO AGUADO (1784-1849) AND THE 1838 GUITAR TRIPOD.

 

 

This from the daily: "Diario de avisos de Madrid" November 22, 1838 page 2

A shipment of TRIPODISONS or machines where the guitar is placed to increase its voice and facilitate the performance of the player has just been received from Paris. This machine was invented by Dionisio Aguado, and has been adopted by the most famous guitarists. They are for sale in this neighborhood in the guitar shop of Benito Campo.
