ORIGINAL: bernd If I want to buy a flamenca, then I´ll expect an aggressive biteful sound. I need a very confidential reference from a friend next on this individual guitar who can state for sure that this one has my disired aggressiveness. I ordered my guitar by visiting the shop in person. But what I´ve got was nothing I could get warm with. So I sold this guitar and was very happy to have space for something else. Well, there you go, the reason why you didn't like these guitars (Conde, Sanchis), is because they are NOT "aggressive" raspy, growly or whatever you wanne call it guitars. It could well be the case that the guy who bought your Sanchis (which you didn't like) is now a very happy owner. I have two 1F Extra and lovem. In fact, I don't like aggressive guitars which growl like a chainsaw once you touch them. Others prefer these type of guitars and for them thats exactly the "flamenco" sound. Not for me. What I witnessed most of the time with several players is that most people when they start with flamenco and for a period of time (me included!), they all like very aggressive sounding guitars , but once you play more and more in different enviroments, the more you prefer less "aggressive" guitars. I prefer "clean" seperated sounding dynamic guitars which start to bite a bit when you play harder, specially Rasgueos must be seperated and no sustain, etc. , though the lyrical voice of Vicente's Reyes for instance is extremely nice.
