The perfect flamenco player's physique

So....how do you think it should be?

Starting from the right hand, I think Gerardo Nunez has the best right hand.
Short fingers, powerful toque.
I don't like so much Moraito's one...too long fingers.

Does anyone want help me finding the other body parts?

Gerardo has lost weight since his youth. He's a lot more handsome now. Paco Pena is quite short, I just wonder he can reach so many frets at the same time.

paco de lucia has the grabber hand, i think oscar herrero is tall and strong as well, i never heard his guitar buzzing, good grab

i belive that trainig the muscles and joints of the fingers is very important,
