First of all, congratulations for the rare fetch!
Recently back to a working VPN, I enjoyed listening to the video. It sure sounds like a canon!
Agreed that for an impression of a flamenca percussive palo will be in order for to hear how things be separated and balanced under rasgueados and picados . However, to me sustaining notes played across the neck appear just as relevant to get a notion of dynamics and voice. The later, after all other aspects being alright, to me appearing to be the icing on the cake and what matters the most.
THE one missed-out on guitar that haunts me since ages (from a master in Granada) was literally singing. And trying to circle in its characteristics over time, it seems as if that singing will include such generally appreciated detail like sweet, bodied trebles and strong crisp basses, but before all: singing mids. With them actually sounding as if a middle-aged person chanting ... That appears to be what ennobles to what my heart perceives as 'Spanish as it gets'.
From there, should you be making another clip, it would interesting to hear how specially D, G and A string rise and dwell up and down the fretboard. At best touched from lightest over moderate to strong attack.
I am expecting mesmerizing timbre from this guitar. -Which BTW serves as a nice example to counter that silly myth according to which guitars would be 'wearing out' or loosing life in any way with time.
