Hi there.I'm new to this forum

Hi everybody,
I am very pleased to have been introduced to this forum by my friend Tomas Jimenez.
I am a guitar maker from Spain, but I have been living in England for the last 10 years.
It would be great to speak to people who share interest in flameco guitars and I am very happy to answer questions people might have in relation to flamenco guitar making.Regards, Pablo

Pablo welcome. Presumably you must be just down the road from Stephen (Hill) making Lewes the handmade flamenco guitar capital of the UK???

Luke I visited Stephen recently - I would have visited pablo but I didn't know he was there

. Lewes is a delightful historic market town so if I were you I would make a day of it. Stephen is positioned between a pub and a fish and chip shop - just heavenly bliss

Tomas was that one of Pablo's you played on the Alegrias dance accompaniment course?

Hola Pablo and welcome,

As you can see everyone here is very nice and friendly.

My response: There are many good guitar makers. I especially like the flamenco guitar that Pablo makes.
Yes I did use it for the course that I gave about how to accompany Alegrías and I use it in all my concerts now.
Some people know that I already have three excellent guitars by Gerundino and you can hear one of them on my web site.
I now have a new guitar by Pablo and I don’t like to make comparisons but I find I like it very much: loud, barking in the bass, top sound both sweet at times and incisive, very flamenco character.
I am currently making a CD and a DVD and am using the Pablo Requena on both.

Do visit his workshop in Lewes.

Regards

Tomás
