Patrick : Good question. I have always wanted to hold a Barbero, and just play it for a half hour. But, who knows what I might think of it as a "guitar" after I did? I mean, who wants to own an expensive piece of furniture? I can say the same about other high end makers, such as Reyes and Faustino Conde. I would need to be impressed with the instrument before I would consider spending that much money. I can say I have played a wonderful Archangel Fernandez (1978) that was a world class instrument, and fabulous Flamenco guitar. This guitar is so good, that I think the owner would not part with it for under $15,000.00. But it is the sonority and playability that makes it so valuable, not the label. Another point that I ponder from time to time is this: The Barbero might be great, but if I can't bring out the sound of it and control the instrument, its all wasted :-) I realized that each person has a guitar that suites them, but not all people suit the guitar. Regards, Paul
