Nice layout Stephen, but do you have a sound that you are looking for that is particular to flamenco guitars? And is it possible for you to elaborate a little about the tone you are looking for, with possibly some demonstration from players in your local area ?

Hi Stephen,

For some reason a lot of texts disapear under the photo's. I have a 22" monitor that is set to 1680 X 1050 pixels, maybe its a scaling thing?

Also the picture where you seem to be glueing the sides is "blurry ?" and is presented twice. Ill try to insert a picture of it below.

This is not the only page that has errors but dont shoot me, I am only the messenger

Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

That page is working fine for me, although the picture is blurry.

On my computer the bottom one is a mirror image of the top that fades under the text.

I like the new site.

The picture is a little blurry but I'm not getting the duplication.
I'm using Firefox if it helps.

I also get the mirror image that fades but I think this is deliberate.

Hi Stephen, the site looks good and well laid out. It has that 'old school' website look which is ok, like its made with trellix or something similar. I did notice some of the photos overlap the text in some places so you cant read the info properly.

I think it would be worthwhile in the future for you to invest in a web designer to create a really polished site using flash etc. As it is its still ok, clean and well laid out. But the impact would be much higher with a really modern and slick site imo.

Btw i love this buleria by Ricardo de la Juana you have on your site!

The tone of the guitar sounds great, congrats. I remember seeing it a while back, it was nice to see it again (this time i saved it to my favourites)

When I view the Guitars page in Firefox 3.5.2 at a resolution of 1440x900 the text does not line up correctly with the thumbnails.

It generally looks fine, once you have the little compatability issues sorted.
