I just recieved my carved ebony Cejilla in the mail. The photos don't do it justice. It's way nicer and fits perfect!

ralexander -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jun. 22 2010 21:03:59)
good stuff, mine's still in transit [;)]

ralexander -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jul. 5 2010 12:50:30)
Received my carved ebony cejilla and it's just great! Works like a charm and very light. Tony was easy to deal with and got it in the mail just days after I ordered. Thanks again, Tony [:D]

By the way, I have compiled what I think is the most extensive glossary of flamenco terms -- available to anyone who wants it. It includes luthiery terms for anyone who wants to order a guitar in spanish. 28 pages of 9-point text with references, including entries on luthiers and guitarists. Just email me for a free copy. Or, if someone can figure out how to put it on the foro I could do that. It would be good if members could contribute to it. Tony

ralexander -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jul. 6 2010 18:08:54)
Hey Tony, I'd like to see that - I need all the help I can get here in Nova Scotia [:D] Sent you an email!

Martin -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jul. 9 2010 18:10:09)
I just received the glossary. That must have taken plenty of time to put together. Thank you for putting in the work for our benefit.

Maybe it is too long for a post. . . I don't even know who to ask. And I'd like to be able to add to it if people sent me corrections and additions. I don't know if that's possible.

My friend Bert Paxton had one — maybe still has — carved in the shape of… how shall I put this… male and female parts. Used to cause much expostulation when he played in restaurants & pubs. Bert is on the right (though this might not be the cejilla in question). On the left is Mick 'Ginger' Coniam. Two of my mentors when I was a schoolboy.

You Mean this cejilla? LOL

Paul Magnussen -> RE: Carved cejillas (Dec. 16 2010 0:30:45)
No: the female part was just the pudenda, and the male part was sin cojones. Same idea, though.

Dear Tony, I just e-mailed you about your cejillas. Hopefully you still make them, as they are amongst the nicest out there. Very best, BH

FullMetalGuitarist -> RE: For those hard-to-reach places (Dec. 21 2011 12:06:03)
Wow , that's a really nice idea! By the way , are those Hannabach strings?

a_arnold -> RE: For those hard-to-reach places (Dec. 21 2011 14:04:17)
No, those are the combo that Sabicas used to use: Savarez high tension (red card) bass and LaBella gold. The combination costs a little less than $10 per set. I am impressed with Hannabachs, though. Similar sound, but for more $. The downside of the Savarez/laBella combo is that they only last 2 weeks max.

Brilliant! [:)][:)][:)]

Got my carved cejilla from Tony today. It only took two days to get from FL to Las Vegas, wow! Once you start using one of these, you'll never go back. Its just one of those things that you can't explain. The heck with capos I say. A-1 craftsmanship and service from Tony. He's not just great at carving cejillas, he's also a hell of a flamenco ambassador and a treasure to our community. And I still swear that a guitar sounds better with a cejilla than with a capo... Tony is just flat out an artist with these things, and that's a fact!

Pgh_flamenco -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jan. 12 2012 5:22:22)
quote: I still swear that a guitar sounds better with a cejilla than with a capo... Cejilla is the Spanish word for capo. Tony makes traditional cejillas. There are some Dunlop cejillas sold on this site: http://es.euroguitar.com/accesorio/cejilla-80/all/dunlop/

a_arnold -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jan. 16 2012 21:02:03)
quote: Cejilla is the Spanish word for capo. Cejilla is Spanish for "eyebrow". From the shape. Like an eyebrow? I don't know if the Spanish would call a Dunlop a cejilla. They might think "capo" is American for "cejilla mechanica." Although it's actually Italian for "head". Jeez, this is getting complicated.

Although it's actually Italian for "head". Jeez, this is getting complicated. I was once stopped at the airport in Madrid. They found a dunlop capo with the x-rax. The girls didn´t understand what it was for. I told her its a capo...a cejilla... for the guitar... When I demonstrated it on some of my fingers how to put that..she finally let me pass. So...a normal Spaniard probably wouldnt understand cejilla. Or she was just not from this world.

El Kiko -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jan. 16 2012 22:37:17)
quote: Cejilla is Spanish for "eyebrow". it comes from that word , in Spanish Eyebrow is "ceja " that was originaly used to describe the "Trastes " or frets . That were also curved , but yes it came from old italian , Latin , I suppose , something to with the head , and then Im lost in history , But the other word that is not used much is Capodastro , and that is where the "Capo " word comes from. I remember talking about this a long time ago in a music school in Cordoba

a_arnold -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jan. 17 2012 3:40:10)
quote: Eyebrow is "ceja " so a cejilla is a little eyebrow . . . cool. So I guess my straight-across low-profile capo design for hard-to-reach places can't properly be called a cejilla. More of a unibrow. The Harvard Dictionary of Music says capodastro is a corruption of capotasto (It.), meaning "head of the fingerboard". Learn something every day.

El Kiko -> RE: Carved cejillas (Jan. 17 2012 9:00:45)
quote: the Harvard Dictionary of Music says capodastro is a corruption of capotasto (It.) capodastro was just another word in Spanish for the same thing in Italian it probably is capotasto although if it were my guess I would say that it is ( was ) two words Capo Tastro , but I will not argue with Harvard... I also found this , that you possibly already know ... Español: cejilla o capodastro Portugués: capo o capotasto Inglés: capo o capotasto Holandés: capo , capodastro o capotasto Alemán: Kapodaster Francés: Capodastre quote: So I guess my straight-across low-profile capo design for hard-to-reach places can't properly be called a cejilla. More of a unibrow. Yes I suppose a Monobrow , lets say Monocejilla [;)] And by the way I learn something too as this turned up on spanish Wiki .... Capo, short for Caporegime, a captain in the Mafia. ........careful with the double meanings here........

Hi Tony, I am averse to using things like PayPal that require an account - call me Mr Paranoid, but I'm old enough to know that foolproof technology aint necessarily so. So could I send you $40 another way for one of your carved capos? Thanks r

Okay, by popular demand I am posting pics of the models I am making now with prices. As always, shipping is free and I take paypal to anthonyarnold5170@att.net I've given them names so you don't have to describe the one you want. This one is the "Nuevo" and it is $40. It is designed for those finger-crowding chords on the first fret. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px
