launch of my website spanishguitars.ch

Hi everybody

I'm happy to be able to finally announce the lounch of my website:

http://www.spanishguitars.ch/

My website is dedicated to the spanish guitar and the andalucian way of life. I have posted some picture galleries about my two flamenca blancas and about the guitarmaking process. There are also some videoclips where you can listen to the guitars. The guy who plays my guitars on the clips is not me, but my guitar teacher. My website is currently only availlable in german as the website has been built mainly for swiss and german visitors. I will offer an english version later. It was simply too much work to translate the whole website because it is quite large. I hope you enjoy it!

Armando

Hi Armando

I like your website. Nice photos, and it looks like you´ve made 2 very nice guitars. What will you be building next?

I havent heard/seen the video clips because I´m on a dial up modem, so it goes very slow, but I will download 1 or 2 files when I can find the time.

Un saludo
Anders

Video clips are great with a very nice sounding guitar.
Are you the maker and is that you playing?
Brilliant Buleria.

Brilliant Buleria

Hi Jim...wasn't it just!
No "show off" stuff or anything like that.
The guy was totally modest and relaxed, letting his fingers do the talking!
Totally at one and completely in control of the rhythm.
A lesson to every student of Bulerias.
Brilliant tone...brilliant phrasing and brilliant expression.
One of the best I've ever heard on the net!
And at half the speed of a lot of uploads I've heard, but with a total groove.
This guy IS a Flamenco guitarist IMO!
No mistake..
Lovely sounding guitar too Armando!

cheers

Ron

PS: Jim...It's not Armando playing..but a guitarist called Claudio Mamood I think...
anyway..he's terrific IMO!!

Hi everybody

I'm happy to hear that many of you like my website.

Jim and Ron.M

No, the guitar player is not me, but my teacher. I thougt it would sound a bit better;-)

He is really an excellent flamenco guitarist and he is that much booked out giving guitar lesssons, that i can only get a lesson every three weeks from him.

He teaches flamenco guitar in Zürich and he is concertizing with a flamenco group named "cuadro flamenco" around Switzerland. He was living for many years in Andalucía when he was young and he learned from many good flamenco players around Malaga and Granada.

My next guitar will be a classical guitar that i have recently started. This is because i have subscribed for this years guitarmaking course with José & Liam Romanillos in Siguenza, Spain. I have to bring the neck ready made to the course, thats why i'm working currently on that. Of course i will build another flamenca blanca hopefully this year but i will wait until i'm back from the Romanillos course in order to apply the knowledge that i have hopefully gained in the course. I have two flamenco guitar models in mind for my next project. I will either go for a Reyes or a Barba.
