Bibab -> So I bought the wrong type of guitar (Nov. 23 2019 22:50:03)
|
At some point a few weeks ago, I decided to learn how to play the flamenco guitar. So without doing much research at all, I decided to go ahead and by myself a guitar. Unfortunately, I had no idea that there were these differences between a flamenco guitar and a classical guitar. So now I have a second hand classical guitar (an early 2000s Admira Teresa), with a relatively high action, soft cedar top and boomy as you may imagine. But I want to learn flamenco. What do I do? I am know some people lower the bridge and put a golpeador on their classical guitar and use it as a flamenco, but I loath to mess around with the Teresa. From What I can tell it is a fairly decent classical guitar, and I imagine I would have to pay significantly more than I paid for it (or get luck) to get something noticeably better on the classical side. At the same time, I imagine it would not be particularly good flamenco guitar even if modified. Is there a short term solution that you guys would recommend to allow me to start learning? Should I get a cheaper classical and modify it or are there decently priced flamencos available (the beginner Yamahas don't seem to be available any longer and go for more than I paid for the Admira Teresa second hand)? The low end flamenco market seems to be sparse.
