A 6 string banjo! It is the instrument on which Cisco began to learn playing the guitar. He heard banjo music on a record attached in the book "Epic of the Wild West" a birthday gift offered by his mother. So he decided to play the banjo .... But he didn’t know it was a 5 string banjo.. And all he found was that Framus 6-string. When he brought it to the cello teacher (!!!!) he found for teaching guitar , she was amazed. But he learnt (the guitar!) in 3 lessons and eight hours of training per day.

1965
First guitar, made in Mirecourt, unknown brand. Kind of wire ropes as strings, handle almost cylindrical, that's all we found in 1965 for 150 french francs. Hard to play with it, but Cisco didn’t know that something easier existed . And it developed the muscles of his fingers. >>>

1966
Back from Wales where he met John James, who lent him his "Martin" for working the "finger picking " that he learnt from him, he realized that there is guitar and guitar. Driven by Gerard (brother), Mom bought him a german guitar (Hoyer) on which he could begin to develop his style (in listening records as it existed no method of folk blues in France)

1975
In Folk Quincampois (a music store), where he met for the first time Marcel Dadi, Cisco, who played for pleasure, paid himself a 5 string banjo and the method of Earl Scruggs, on which he practiced with bluegrass 3 metal finger picks, as recommended by Scruggs. Technique that he will keep on the guitar. >>>

His first Takamine... made him want to get back to serious playing. With this one, he recorded 2 vinyls with French folk singer Marie Courcelle (82 and 83)

Rue de Douai Paris, Marcel Dadi recommended to Cisco a Takamine with cutaway Ry Cooder model. This changed everything. There is a piezo, a preamp and an integrated equalizer. What a comfort! >>>

Marcel Dadi recognized Cisco loitering in front of his shop and offered him to buy a guitar he brought from the USA. Collings a double 0. A masterpiece! Cisco is OK: his blues singer career had just restarted.... It was stolen.
