Yes, I also think it sounds great; as I wrote at the top of the post, I was being sarcastic. That's also why I added an emoticon . I do understand that for many foro members English is not their first language, please forgive me.

RE: Felipe and Mariano making the sa... (in reply to Anders Eliasson)
Soooooo anyone knows whether they still in business together? I mean, if they bought from the source A and sell those as their own when they were together; break up to sell their "own" guitars, then buy from the same source and sell bloody identical guitars after breaking up. What's the bloody point of that? Wouldn't they be making it obvious that they do actually buy from outside. That's bad business sense to me.

sorry, I didn't notice your "disclaimer".
Somebody once dissed Pepe's pedro de miguel guitar already some time ago for real(I suppose). I think in the pro's hands it doesn't really matter much if they play alhambra guitar or santos hernandez(for example) when it comes to quality of sound...

Did Moraito mostly use Condes?
Anyone know the guitar he was using in the famous Festival de Otono, Jerez videos?
Mostly condes of course, and in the famous bulerias vid from that festival he's got a conde too. Now his son diego seems to be using those guitars occasionally in concerts
