hannabach -> RE: My Graciliano Perez Negra Arrived today (Jan. 17 2020 21:47:00)

Thanks AndresK...this guitar is a real joy to play!
Sounds clips are very difficult to get a true sense of sound quality and volume, but they help. I like the brilliance of this Negra with the associated mild rasp it voices.
I own many Spanish built flamencos, and have not had the time to make all the comparisons. However I did compare it to my 2007 Juan Gonzalez Blanca #146.
Perhaps a little unfair as blanca vs Negra...however I played a Conde Negra once that voiced a strong blanca quality.
Gonzalez more rasp similar volume but as expected less brilliance, but not inferior, both wonderful guitars...it's a toss up, neither I would part with.
Just different.
Both of these builders use wood from very old stock, I think this is key in getting an above average guitar, as is the skill of the builder.
The first real Flamenco guitar I played over 20 years ago was a very old at the time, Francisco Barba Cedar top my first teacher owned...this guitar was the ipitome of the Flamenco sound I fell in love with...dry, very
raspy and loud as hell.
Be well James
