RE: Manufactures choice of strings ... (in reply to kitarist)

I won't pretend to be an expert on the meaning of "pulsacion." Like a great many words, it may mean different things to different people. To me it means the effort required to produce a good sound. Of course, some guitars produce sounds I like better than others. Some may seldom or never produce a sound I really like. When guitars are of reasonably comparable--and high--quality, it's a combination of the effort required of the left hand to fret a note, and the effort required by the right hand to sound it. But it's still an imprecise term. For example, my Romanillos responds best to a lighter, more precise right hand touch, while I prefer a "deeper" right hand stroke on others. The Romanillos feels a little stiffer. To displace the string by a given distance requires more force, yet when played the best way, the Romanillos requires no more right hand effort than the others. Still, Spanish speaking players, makers and dealers use the word freely, and expect it to convey useful information. RNJ
