They had this posted below the video:
"This is a special exclusive flamenco guitar developed by Jeronimo Maya, Vassilis Lazarides and La Sonanta. Jeronimo Maya plays exactly this guitar model on his upcoming DVD and CD.
To have a sensational, professional, well balanced, lightweight, comfortable playability and a very Andalusian, old style chitarra and Cante Jondo sound, Jeronimo Maya, Vassilis and La Sonanta worked together to design this new flamenco guitar. The essential input from Jeronimo Maya as a maestro flamenco guitarist, the perfect workmanship and historical instrument construction knowledge of Vassilis Lazarides led to a very authentic flamenco sounding instruments.
The great particular, old sounding and responsive flamenco tone of this new Jeronimo Maya flamenco guitar is due to a special bracing and some historical chitarra design aspects. She has a lot of percussive power, the basses are very punchy and dark, she has an extremely quick response and a very well balanced tone with trebles that have a dry, clear singing and sweet touch.
The slender neck makes her very comfortable to play. The French polish finish is of an excellent quality and looks beautiful. The woods used for this guitar are of exceptional quality. Back and sides are made of beautiful light cypress and the soundboard is made of premium old aged German spruce with many essential cross silk grain patters. The rosette design is based upon one of the early authentic Torres rosettes. The tasteful, beautiful mother of pearl inlays in the rosette and the binding make this instrument an even more special and beautiful instrument.
Vassilis only makes a very limited amount of these Jeronimo Maya flamenco guitars per year in his workshop. For those flamenco guitarists, who are looking for a unique authenthic flamenco sound and professional playability."
