RE: Hauser Classical guitar (in reply to Ricardo)

If I may wildly speculate on the compensation, maybe at that time guitar lutherie had not yet fully adapted to nylon characteristics. Or maybe Dupond´s formula was still different from todays, eventually somewhat ressembling gut properties / coming with larger diameters? - I would not have expected Hauser to have taken over Segovia´s demands / specifications to his building template. Unlike Ramirez. Provided I recall that correctly ( Sir Vega may correct me ) Ramirez applied Segovia´s requested dimensions to their line of classicals. Which resulted into bulky necks, enlarged spacings with nut and saddle and higher action. Other makers then copied the XL standard from Ramirez. - In respect of Tom´s evaluation, I sort these brands into different chambers. Hauser-a-likes, as you suggested for baroque and other clarity ringing tasks, Ramirez rather for the smooth / romantic soundfield. Besides, in contrast to Ramirez modern classicals that I tried in 2006, I am amazed by that old flamenca I have. Badly dried out through transport ( and - as came to my mind after only 4 years - probably also with the hair drier procedure that a luthier engaged to remove the golpeador to my request) this thing still keeps recovering yet after FOUR years, and even though at times I do think to be approaching its sonic limits, ever more revealing quite a potential for sound sculpturing. Leaving me wondering once again, as to how a shop could produce something that fine with just firm specs unconsidered of individual wood properties. Ruphus
