Thanks Anders for your invitation. When I bought my last guitar, I didn't know about your work. I drove a return trip of over 5000km to buy my present guitar. I would have gone to your place from Sevilla which is roughly the same distance to Cadiz! I found confusing that all guitarreros claim their guitars sound flamenco and made with the best wood, prices vary from €3000 to €18,000, and listening to mp3 sound samples is not particularly helpful. From listening to all the CDs, the guitar I've fallen in love with is the one used by Sabicas in cutting the record Flamenco On Fire (the very first tape I had, which I still have), the sound is crystal clear and belllike (a Bernabé?). I had no idea that I was listening to the best. At the time, one of the most sought-after guitars was a Ramirez III. A friend of mine ordered one from Spain via a music shop and had troubles in tuning it because of the pegs, touted by Juan Martin that it gave a more flamenco sound. That was a good while back.
