a_arnold -> need advice re Gerundino (Feb. 18 2007 2:50:32)
|
I have a shot at buying a 1977 Gerundino from Almeria. This would be a bit of a sentimental purchase for me, as I went to a flamenco festival in the civic center at Almeria in 1974. Drove all night to get back to our pensione in Granada at the Hostal California -- directly across the street from Bellido's shop.
Anyway, I didn't know about Gerundino in 1974. I would imagine he was just learning his trade then. The question is this: was he a mature builder in 1977? Was he good at that point? Does anybody know what the span of his career was? I know he died quite recently, and I don't know what his guitars were/are selling for, but I think $1000 US seems pretty good. It has normal wear and dings for a heavily-used flamenco blanca that old, but no structural problems. Pegs.
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!
