René François Lacôte

René François Lacôte (1785–1855) was a Romantic guitar luthier from Paris, France. His guitars were played by guitarists such as Fernando Sor, Ferdinando Carulli, Dionisio Aguado, Napoléon Coste, and Marco Aurelio Zani de Ferranti. Musicologist René Vannes referred to Lacôte as the "Stradivarius of the guitar" in his book Universal Dictionary of Luthiers. Lacôte apprenticed to the luthier Joseph Pons. Ferndando Sor mentioned in his book Méthode pour la Guitare that "M. Lacote, a French maker, the only person who, besides his talents, has proved to me that he possesses the quality of not being inflexible to reasoning".

gollark: Combined with the example code, it's usable, but vaguely annoying.
gollark: It briefly describes jua, mentions the available non-websocket API calls, then has a short websocket-y code example which seems to miss a few important features.
gollark: The build process would be a bit annoying, though.
gollark: Good idea.
