The extra size does project the sound....that coupled with the bracing I believe actually OVERPROJECTS the sound and the bass notes in particular have too much sustain and volume creating an imbalanced effect.....for a slow Rondena may sound OK....but try playing a Bulerias and it reallly muddies up the sound......The basses on these guitars are simply too overpowering IMO. Yes - I'm going with the flow on this. Maybe I missed the boat, but I thought that the whole point about the shallow body (as you've stated Rum) was to help to reduce the sustain and therefore help attack. As far as I understand, negras have a hardwood of choice, but not necessarily a big deep body. This would result in a "compromise" of good projection yet still retain the attack without the sustain. Maybe I got this wrong, but thats how I've come to understand and I just got really confused when I saw the big deep body in the first video. I think Ron got it when he says that Bernal Guitars are "built properly"
