Introduction, new member

Hi all. I would like to introduce myself to the community. I am relatively new maker currently living in USA (DC) but moving back to my old country (Croatia) end of October. Posted are few images of flamenca blanca built in a workshop with Paco Chorobo last summer in Spain.

For some more info and photos of classical guitars, ukes and details from the shop please visit

Looks beautiful. I especially like the choice of wood for the face of the head, and the way its dark edges coordinate with the dark binding and bridge. I'm sure we would all like to hear a sound sample.

Welcome to the foro!
The guitar looks beautiful. Like Ethan, I would love to hear it.
Good luck with the preparations for your upcoming move. I'd imagine I'm not the only one on here who knows who much of a hassle international moving can be (well I know at least the owner of the site knows, since he's in the middle of doing that too ^^).

Welcome Vitomir. Had a look at your site too. That is some really nice looking work. That’s really cool that you went to study with Paco chorobo. I used his online course for guidance. Seems like a really nice guy and a good player too. Not sure when you are moving but it would be cool to meet up at one of Ricardo’s gigs sometime.

Thank you Ethan.

And thank you Piwin. Indeed, after 20 years in US this move is unlike anything else before!

Here are couple of audio samples of various people playing the guitar:

Thank you Jason.

Yes, Paco is really nice as a person and as a teacher. It was a great experience. He does play well! First audio snippet is of him testing the guitar after we stringed it for the first time.

I am moving end of October.
