RE: Unusual flamenco pics (in reply to NormanKliman)
The critical question is: Can she work that guitar over while maintaining compas, or must she use a metronome?

The way I look at it, it would start out as a slow Granadinas, then Poco a Poco Accelerando get a little faster with Alegrias, and then end with a Presto Bulerias.
I'm horrified by the sexist comments here. Its clear to anyone who knows about luthiery that all she is doing is applying laquer in the traditional Andalusian manner to ensure an even coating over the body of the guitar.
I know her. High tension G string, but smooth action all around anyway. Had a throaty bark to her as well. The smell from the hole was sweet, not well aged I would say, but was fun to "break-in".
