ORIGINAL: orsonw quote:
At the end (3:25) of the video of Escudero playing his bulerias "Impetu," the headstock of his guitar looks to me like a Conde "media luna," Yes it's a Conde. Ricardo was being cryptic with ironic video posting. Showing the 'tone of Escudero' with a Conde. Then Cepero still playing a Conde (Mariano), at least some of time. Then posting a Jeronimo Perez and commenting on the trebles. That video/audio is not representative in my opinion/experience. In 2014 I went to Algodonales and commissioned Perez to build a 670 scale blanca. The trebles and basses are very strong and evenly balanced. Describing a guitar sound is a losing game, but here goes. In general I would say my Perez is kind of like a Conde in the way the sound is balanced, and focused without too much overtone. The Perez has more dynamics. It is both stronger more 'macho', and also has a more beautiful/character to the sound. Yep you get me. I played at least one Perez and heard some up close…I would love to hear yours. So far, that audio (Cepero) is what I expect. Keep in mind, Cepero is singing LOUDER than Samuel…the mic is no where near his mouth . The mic is very “real” in other words. Sorry if it sounds critical, maybe la Bella strings would make a difference? Would like to hear yours (just strum some bulerias). You might sell me on it, and the OP too.

ORIGINAL: bahen Is it just me or is Cepero quite sloppy? Maybe he is, but where exactly? Not seeing any bad notes yet, but it is a long video. There are literally zero 80 year old players as fast and accurate as him. His music was never as complex on the left hand as PDL, however, his aggressive right hand style has always been on point…and for accompanying cante, his dynamics and sensitivity is the best of all time maybe. The models have been Ramon Montoya, Melchor and Ricardo, Cepero, and finally Moraito. No one has done a better job than those 5, and of them, I consider Cepero the best.
