estebanana -> RE: Small Torres build experiences? (Jun. 18 2015 9:32:03)

I've built a requinto and small scale Torres recently, the Torres naturally has a little growl like a flamenco guitar. Basically the same thing back then. The Torres concept of the braces stays the same but the size of the guitar changes. If you see the book by Romanillos you can see the format Torres uses is this inverted 'kite' form, he scales the braces to fit body size without too much change. I'd just make it like the Torres plan and it will be a bit flamenco because his concept was the beginning of the flamenco development into a special flamenco guitar. I've even braced a few flamenco guitars exactly like a Torres and they sound flamenco. It's more about the braces, top thickness, bridge weight that give a flamenco sound more than back & sides. I think.
