Greetings from Estonia

Hi All,

Warm greetings from wintry Estonia I've been reading the forum for awhile now and it has been really helpful for discovering the great world of flamenco. My experience on flamenco guitar is about 3 years so I am still very green man in this world but moveing on with smal steps. I bought my first pure flamenco guitar Francisco Navarro blanca estudio from La Sonanta. They were very helpful and it was really pleasure dealing with them.
photos Compared to my first Yamaha classical one it is way different instrument. So it seems to me from thous smal steps I am trying to do here, this one was pretty big one. Anyway there is a lot to laern and pratice, this is just the begining and foro has already helped me a lot on this.

Welcome to the foro. Love the look of your guitar. I cracked up when i saw all the dust between your strings. Should clean your guitar once in a while.

I was wondering what to do with my Yamaha now. My plan is to change the bridge to lower one. Is it worth a try and how much it effects the sound? Then I can keep it as kind of rough use outdoor guitar

Here is a matchbox test on my guitars.

What a coincidence, we went to Saaremaa and Hiiumaa for Jaanipaev this year.
The only guitar I had access to was an old Washburn steel string, that was
REALLY bad, god was it bad. But the place and the people as always in Estonia
are the greatest!

Having been then in the winter though, no thanks! -29C last I heard, too cold.
Oh plus the drink that's popular of late Milli Mallikas , I tried 6-8 and I can say
honestly - I don't like them. :)

Again welcome to the Forum.

Drop me a private message and we'll see if we know any mutual folks in
Tallinn.

Regards,
Jeff
