Abstract

This work intends to present a part of the history that contemplates the partnership of Sérgio Abreu and the company Tranquillo Giannini S/A in the construction of the guitars popularly known as “Abreu’s Model” and how such instruments ended up in the Technical School of Music and Dance Ivanildo Rebouças da Silva, in Cubatão. The purpose of this article is to investigate the history and use of these instruments, from the acquisition by ETMD to the way they were used and preserved by the school. For this, a qualitative research was carried out in addition to a historical rescue in newspapers, magazines and historical documents, interviews with teachers who were part of this history or who currently work with these instruments. At the end, it was possible to obtain the entire historical trajectory of these guitars, from when they first appeared to when they ended up in the conservatory.
