I like this design. I prefer it to the one where you put thesound hole to one of the sides. The idea is to make a larger vibrating area. I have no idea how it sounds.

I have no idea how it sounds. Mike Kasha (a physicist here at Florida State U) spent a lot of time analyzing patterns of vibration in guitar tops, working with a luthier to develop new designs of bracing and soundhole that optimize projection while maintaining treble/bass balance, and his guitars have a similar sound hole, but only on one side (treble). I'd say his are definitely the loudest nylon-strung guitars I've ever heard, but some (classical guitarists) say they sound a bit brittle and metallic. For flamenco, that seems a plus to me, but I agree with Tom on the beauty of the traditional design. Even cutaways seem gimmicky to me. I don't know if Kasha and his luthier ever made a flamenco. Anyway, I bet this Sanchis is loud for the audience -- maybe no difference for the player. Mike Kasha is still alive, by the way (google him), and his guitars sell for a LOT. Unfortunately, he is not a luthier, and the guy he used to work with has passed away, so they aren't being made any more. I've heard Kasha is happy to give his designs to anyone who asks, though. He'd probably be glad to work with another luthier if someone approached him.
