RE: Quick: Anders...watch it (in reply to Escribano)
Escribano, your guitar sounds excellent but I hope you don't imply that it is similar to the Reyes you heard in the Serrano's vid, do you?
It is very hard to find guitars in the flamenco world that match the trebles of Reyes or a true Gerundino....You might see and hear a lot of flamenco guitars with heavy bass but getting those trebles sing like Reyes does, is very difficult.
RE: Quick: Anders...watch it (in reply to Escribano)
this is the video that made me fall in love with the sound of the guitars made by Anders! ( just five minutes agò I was playng my blanca ) He is great!

I am too emotionally attached to be objective I am afraid. Anders as a worthy friend, the very special guitar we came up with together, the documentary we made that opened a new world to me and funds the forum to this day, this video recorded in my house and that buleria riff that I cannot get out of my head.
So yes, I do prefer my guitar, it is priceless for all those reasons. Something about the Serrano video reminded me of it. The energy, the resonance, the flamenco.
Not yet. I was offering the video clip I'll upload something when I have cracked the buleria basics that I am working on when my workload allows. Trouble with my job is that I am commuting as many hours as some people work at the moment.

Hahaha, "Not yet", like in "Never" I suppose (I must admit, I do sometimes look at Anders homepage just for this guitar) I would love to see you playin!
Damn, are you serious about commuting? Are you a sales-person?

No, I work with enterprise customers on their IT strategies. I am charged out at up to £2000 per day, so you guess the pressure on me to demonstrate value in these difficult times, even after a 3 hour journey in and the same trip home

Sounds like, normally, a nice job. Keeping customers satisfied nowadays must be hard. Probably the same as in my job (we provide Storage on Demand in shared enviroments). The customers demand more as ever before and want to pay less.
You must be good at your job than, if you're still around. At our place a lot of them get thrown out because the golden years are over, and now you have to work hard instead of just writing orders.
