Why is it so hard to find smaller si... 
I'd love to have a 7/8 or even 3/4 quality Blanca, but I'm not sure that even exists. There is a very small selection of classical guitars in that size. Even smaller if you want decent quality. Flamencos are nearly impossible to find amd blancas - I haven't seen a single one. I get the Flamenco guitars are meant to be loud, but honestly how many people actually play with a dancer and really need it? Surely not enough that a smaller sized Flamenco guitar should be near impossible to get. Is there any source I might not know of? Maybe some guitar makers in Spain? I live in Germany and haven't found anything.

What is your experience? Are there any out there and I've just missed this or do they really just not exist?

I have seen a guitar made by Pedro Maldonado which is only 36 inches in size.

Estebanana has been making "19th century spirit" guitars, about which there are a couple of threads. 7/8-ish in size, flamenco in spirit.

usually flamenco guitars are niche enough of a market because they are for people that REALLY play.

You seem to like the sound of ukulele.
