Soundhole covers

Some of you may be familiar with my custom Cejillas. I have also been working for a while to produce a viable soundhole cover. The purpose of these is mainly decorative but do also offer some assistance with feedback when performing using pickups or mic's. Mainly, they look really good and add a little class to your valued instrument.
The problem was that the commercially available ones are -
Thick and bulky and rest on your soundboard.
Protrude above the soundhole - get in the way of Tremelo, Rasgueo
Vibrate on the soundboard.

With the aggressive playing and techniques of Flamenco and even Classical guitar, the cover needs to be thin and recessed in the soundhole and not vibrate.
These covers are about as thin as your soundboard, fit inside the hole and will not vibrate. They are easy to install and will not harm your guitar. They are easily removed and I swap mine around quite often depending on mood. They don't affect the sound of the guitar by any discernible amount.

If anyone is interested send me a PM. I have a few designs completed and you are welcome to design your own, colors designs etc.
The standard ones will be $20 and custom will be negotiated. Each one is custom sized for your soundhole so you will need to measure it
