quote:
Once ordered a Reyes Hijo. When it was ready I returned it for unacceptable workmanship Got to say that is unusual ..I know the Reyes Family a bit as i lived next to them when I moved down to Cordoba for about 8 years . they were in Calle Armas and me in ''Julio Romero de Torres ..just like 2 streets away.. I was in his workshop a lot of times and chatted with them about stuff in cafe San Fransisco or Los Plateros... anyway ... if you wanted a guitar from him you would have to see him and play for him a few different guitars .... I did go once to get mine and he told me this .... 'Why?' I asked ... ' I want to see how you play it ..how you hold it . find out what you expect from it ... ' was the reply . and then you would have to go back for any adjustments that may be needed ... His workshop is was actually pretty basic but his attitude was very professional ., and you cant help but take some time to look at the wall in the shop area with all the signed photos of ,,,,Basically,.. everyone you would need to see that played flamenco in the last century ..playing his guitars .., standing there ,where you are now .. shaking hands, or playing etc... Based on this alone .....and from what you say there must be a huge difference in attitude more than anything else, .. apart from workmanship in these guitars... That being said , then its a real shame ,really to hear this ....
