The Fingerboard Goldenrod 145 59. — Woodland Tales, Ernest Thompson Seton
He took the guitar a little above the fingerboard, arching his left elbow with a somewhat theatrical gesture, and, with a wink at Anísya Fëdorovna, struck a single chord, pure and sonorous, and then quietly, smoothly, and confidently began playing in very slow time, not My Lady, but the well-known song: Came a maiden down the street. — War and Peace, Leo, graf Tolstoy
