Music Fair 2013 in Germany

Was anybody there?
I was there, but seamed like it was not so crowded like last time (economy?)

Tried out a lot of guitars. Condes, Sanchis, Perez, Carillo, etc.

Also tried a chinese flamenco guitar, i think 100 euro or something like that.
Almost broke my hands while playing. I think setup was 1 meter at 12th fret. Told him his guitars are very good for the price and he was happy ;)

And got many savarez strings too ;) , tried the tomatito strings after the fair and one of the treble strings torned apart after one day. Tomatito should check his strings more often ;-)..... The Catinga basses are good.

Guitars: Still my favourites are Hnos Sanchis Lopez.
Can't beat the price/performance ratio.
They were always good but I felt like they were even slightly better than last time.

And the two brothers are also very nice guys btw. (and they speak english ;-)
Didn't see the father though. Maybe he didn't like the noise in the fair ;)
But also tried all the Ricardo guitars.
They were very good too.

The Felipe Condes were also very good, but as you know expensive.
There was a FC26 which standed out, played it in a seperate room which they had (not so much noise like outside) for half an hour and really liked it.

The chinese factory which made this guitar, probably also produces CD holders or anything else you want and order

I asked Felipe who builds his guitars nowadays and he simply pointed at the chinese guy with the 100 euro guitar with a sneaky smile on his face and said: valencia mucho expensive, china muy bien ..

Hey Arash, bist Du von den Toten auferstanden? Ich habe immer noch eine Kassette für Dich

As you see here I was there: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=229519&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=bernd&tmode=&smode=&s=#229637

I was very impressed by a Perez negra and checked a Cordoba "Reyes" blanca.
