Any reviews or soundclips of Aarons negras? heard alot about his blanca's not so much about his negra's Rich, I haven’t heard one personally, but know of several around and have heard exceptional reviews. Here are a couple of reviews from a friend of mine that has a phenomenal collection of world-class guitars (you name it, he owns it). He owns a Green Brazilian negra and a Green blanca. Hi Pat, Here are the photos. These are exquisite flamenco guitars with wonderful sound, craftsmanship and finish, which put them in the same class as Manuel Reyes, Arcangel Fernandez and Gerundino. Aaron's guitars seem to be more consistent as compared to a lot of these well-known luthiers. The negra here is more metallic sounding whereas the blanca is more throaty and earthy sounding. My insert: and yes he does own a Reyes, Fernandez and a Gerundino Dear Aaron, I have tested your guitar against a 2002 Lester Devoe (Indian rosewood) and a 1977 Hermanos Conde (Brazilian) built by Faustino. Have I mentioned to you that I have a daughter who has sensitive ears? Whilst she does not play guitar but violin and piano but she is gifted in sound. She can tell the differences in simple language. Her assessment is (verbatim): 1. Devoe - very clear. 2. Conde -loud, echo, sound deep. 3. Green- very clear, loud, enough echo. I cannot describe in better and clearer terms. The Conde has the old and powerful basses but the trebles are slightly behind. The Devoe has clear sound but does not have the high voicing as the Green. The Green is so echoic and has brilliant trebles and overall high voicing. It also has the Spanish tone, more Spanish than the Devoe. The winner is Aaron Green! I will change the strings to Savarez Corum which will give this guitar even more clarity separation in rasqueados . I attach some photos including the backs of negra Gerundino, Tezanos Perez and a modern CondeAF25 R, all in Brazilian. So there you go. Oh by the way, I now own the 2002 DeVoe he is talking about. All I can say is it is world-class and he said the Green negra is better! Here are the two Green’s he owns
