quote: On the home page the sections under the "Discussion" heading could be, Lutherie Building and repair. Guitarra Flamenca Anything else related to the instrument; history, valuation, market etc.. I'm sure there will still be errant posts, though I think it can be interesting when things go off on a tangent. I would like it if this was still allowed to happen. Maybe set a frame work but not get too rigid? This sounds reasonable to me, it would allow for the building and repair discussion to be more liberated from non intrinsic crosstalk. Of course if someone makes an comment about history of guitars or the origins of nomenclature of guitar parts or tools or other more esoteric things in context with a building project that is cool. I just want to see the building talk stay focused so we can keep an intensity in guitar making. I've got projects I want to share and I can learn a lot more here..and teach a few things. I'd like to see the building get more serious. I'm a funny irreverent person when I want to be and I think flamenco attracts that kind of person, but I don't always want to be the joker you read on your iPad while on the train. There's a place for fun & games and a place to be focused and studious, they can intersect, but lets keep it clear. I agree, Stephen; I imagine this section as a place where "speak" the builders, while the others listen, ask questions and learn ONLY. If the builder is a serious person who well knows that there IS NOT a point of arrival in any trade where one can say " I KNOW" , HE COMPARES his work, his “way to built” , with other builders. In this way the WISDOM and EXPERIENCE of each builder itself DRIVES the discussion on the subject still keeping in : his own character and spirit of exploration, creativity and artistry, as well as his personality. So I imagine a LUTHIER section to better understand/learn about the guitar construction process, materials and tools, the right way to use each of them, the shape of each single part and the way they have to be assembled, the general form of the guitar, the form of details, the relation between all of this and the sound. There may also be studied, as a valid example, one special model of guitar, but it has to be finalized to understand how to built not the “same guitar” but “the best guitar”. I hope I wrote something that makes sense…because the luthier section (when not dedicated only to self promotion or to explore “Conde world” :- ) ) is VERY interesting…… .............and let me add : I hope Anders comes back to the forum and in this section. :-) Ciao giambattista
