ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson quote:
When a guitar is tuned properly the whole instrument should vibrate like a living organism and this sensitivity is linked to the player who feels its response with all of his senses. But many guitars aren't tuned right, or they are built too heavy, and this has gotten some builders active in trying to promote certain alterations that make up for this lack of open-ended tonal quality that surrounds the player's senses. I´m very glad that Florian responded on this one before I read it. It makes me relax more. I totally agree with what Florian has written. The way you write shows me that you have absolutely no respect for people/builders doing things in another way than yours. Only your way is the right way. You´ve been here for around 15 month and right from the start you have proven to be so. In the start you tried to make people think that building anything else than the Reyes plan that you improved would be the same as being a total idiot. Every other plan was full of fault and guitars made from other plans were inferior. The fact that some players prefered to play Condes, Reyes, Canin, DeVoe, Eliasson etc. was in your narrowminded head only because they didnt know better and hadnt tried any of your improved Reyes designs. Now you have a go again and constantly arguing against what you think is not good and this in the most disrespectal way. I dont even think you know much about soundports or if you have tried some, your have been so prejudiced that you havent been able to really listen to what you had in your hands. You dont have to like soundports and you dont have to build a guitar to prove anything. You just have to accept that in the world there are players and builders who dont agree with what is true for you. On forums like this, it sometimes happens that some people dont get along. It has happened here a couple of times and now it is happening again. I simply cant stand you, what you stand for and the way you behave. I´m not afraid of saying these things. I believe its better to get it out so that everyone knows why some threads end up with hard discussions. This way, the community has a chance to react before things get out of hand. I will try to leave you in peace and maybe you could try to do so as well. But if you start being disrespectfull towards me or other builders I will tell you to stop in my way, which you already know very well. I´ve been a member of this community for 6 years (I changed my login name 3 years ago) and I´ve never had any problems with anyone. I´ve had hard discussions with someone, but nothing that we couldnt "repair" privately. And some of these people have ended up being amongst the members that I respect the most. But you are to far out, so please dont send me any mails, PM´s etc. Maybe, if we behave, there´ll be enough space for everyone. Anders For a number of reasons it is better not to respond to your posts. I don't think your command of the English language is good enough to understand many things I write here. Also, I think you have not had the opportunity to dialog with a person who, although is a maker of flamenco guitars for 50 years and has accumulated vast knowledge about the art, and will come to a list like this and share his knowledge, without prejudice, for you to be able to realize my intentions as honorable. And this makes it a little awkward when you can't see past your own prejudice and realize that I don't dislike you. I think it would be better if you discuss the issues at hand rather than attacking the person who is addressing his side of the issue. What you are falling into is the point of which chisel to use rather than how it is used. If you can't explain it, then do yourself a favor and don't rant about a person's character; this only lowers your own status as a person, and maker of fine guitars.
