The is an amusing anecdote about the day that El Maestro arrived at Gerundino´s house to try his guitars. He was attended by Eladio, who was, more or less, Gerundino´s business manager When he had selected a guitar, Eladio insisted that he should pay at least the cost of the materials. El Maestro paid the quantity required and left saying "esta el la primera guitarra que yo pago". Sean

Well, I thought that would start a stir!! The instrument in question(sorry guysand girls) is a marvelous invention... a Practise guitar for when Paco goes on holiday and cant be bothered to take a large one (as if he needs to practise when he is on holiday) Thin solid cedrela body, frets set to the first 6 at 660mm scale, peg head and half the body with bridge on the lower end... Yes, it is a gift from the guitarist and itinerant flamenco player Mike Jingle here in Andalucia who knows him well. Aparantly Paco fell in love with Jingles one and asked where he could get one.. so . its a commission! Great for the left hand and rasgueado practise. Wont disturb his neibours, thats the main thing.... We go and see him and present it. Engraved on the back ' Al Maesro Paco, gracias por su arte que ha cambiado mi vida, jingle xx' etc or something like that. Paco phoned Jingle recently and on the phone said 'Hola.. do you remember me, its Paco... ' and ' you still wear odd socks Jingle?' so the bubble bursts. Might show him my latest guitar I am making too.. but he cant have it as it is a commission also. Anyway I will post some pics!
