When I bought my spruce/Brazilian "doble tapa" (actually a double back) from Manuel Contreras padre in June or July, 1991, I paid in pesetas. VAT was coming in the next year, maybe Euros as well. Don Manuel told me he was raising his prices in 1992 by the same percentage as the VAT. "Why is that, Maestro? The guitar has been denoted an essential part of Spanish culture, and is exempt from the VAT." "Everything else is costing me more, so I have to earn more," he replied. RNJ
