What does it sound like inside your ... 
Although I am not a luthier,( Ojala) I am a fan and musician , and I remembered seeing this guy a while ago now in Portugal, (where part of my Family come from ) anyway the portugues guitarra is a double stringed instrument a bit like a 'Bandurria' and jose is a really good maker and inovator of the design.
While I realise that it is not a Flamenco guitar the principal is basically similar and I hope only that this may be of interest to you Luthiers as I found this now in english for you all..
What an interest it is to get inside a guitar and trigger sounds , walk around and hear the difference between standing underneath the sound hole or near the neck etc...I am really not sure if this guitar is still on 'tour' but if it is I would definately recommend it and also introduce yourself to him as he is a very interesting and inovating person ........I mean who amongst you doesnt want to build the perfect guitar.......

here it is .....



One of the greatest and best known Portuguese guitarists is Carlos Paredes who is easy to search for, but for example some interesting arpeggio, that he was kind of known for is here to listen to , or search yourself for the name..........



thanks for looking . just a side line interest for you all........

cool giant guitar!

I was hoping they were going to strum it in the video while the people were in side so i could hear it. I wonder if he is able to tune it properly and get some people to hold the strings down on the finger board and play a tune.

I also wonder how you could do a giant rasqueado on giant Flamenco guitar? Maybe a suspended swimmer doing freestyle over the strings would work.

Or a tremolo .... you stand on the top E and walk up and I will put my flippers on and start paddling at the other end ..........as if I didn't have enough problems with my tremolo on a normal size one ...
