About This Design

Guidonian Hand (late 15th century) Tie

Guidonian Hand (late 15th century) Tie

Guidonian hand from a manuscript from Mantua, last quarter of 15th century. In mediaeval music, the Guidonian hand was a mnemonic device used to assist singers in learning to sight-sing. Some form of the device may have been used by Guido of Arezzo, a mediaeval music theorist who wrote a number of treatises, including one instructing singers in sightreading. The hand occurs in some manuscripts before Guido's time as a tool to find the semitone; it does not have the depicted form until the 12th century. Sigebertus Gemblacensis in c. 1105–1110 did describe Guido using the joints of the hand to aid in teaching his hexachord.

I originally ordered 1 tie to test and ensure I liked it with the suits we had ordered! The tie came and it was perfect! We loved it! The colours were bright and the tie was beautifully made. I then ordered the 6 additional ties and the colours are slightly different. The 6 ties were a little less vibrant and the white background was slightly different! .

This is an awesome German Flag tie ! The quality and the printing of this tie is perfect and is equal to what you see on the screen. I selected this tie because not only does it look 'rock'n'roll' the 'faded grungy' look goes perfect with my 'metal rockstar' look. The printing on the tie is perfect. 10 out of 10.
