flamenco guitars and regular shops w...

Hi guys

I have a question to those who have travelled a lot to spain. I wonder if they sell flamenco guitars in regular shops with musical instruments in Spain ? In this clip it looks like this guy is in regular shop with musical instruments and flamenco guitars are on display. Please guys share your experiences as far as regular shops with musical instruments in Spain are concerned .

When you watch youtube clips there are Spanish people playing beautifully sounding guitars and those people don't look like very rich people who can afford 3 or 4 thousand euros flamenco guitars. This makes me think that if you go to Spain there is a chance that you can get there good sounding flamenco guitar at reasonable price. I owned before flamenco cutaway cypress guitar with pickup. It was Spanish guitar. I bought it in Poland at the equivalent of 400 pounds. How much did they pay for this guitar in Spain before they brought it to Poland? Probably less than 400 pounds. If somebody thinks this guitar sounded bad is wrong.

Rafapak,

Judging from your various threads and posts asking what constitutes a good guitar, whether or not various guitars sound good (or not), the kinds of guitars "Spanish people" play, whether these "Spanish people" are rich or not, etc., it seems like you are thrashing around without having carefully thought through the considered responses Foro members have already provided. I suggest you go back and read some of the responses your posts have already received and follow their advice. You will never gain any knowledge and insight by asking Foro members their opinion of every guitar you find on YouTube that strikes your fancy. Slow down, consider what you want, and stop thrashing around aimlessly.

Bill
