Raimundo -> Help to buy Flamenco From the internet (update) (Aug. 19 2007 7:46:01)

Hi everyone,
First of all I wona say hello to all you guys, I'm glad that I found this forum.

I'm new to Flamenco, and I'm trying to buy a new Flamenco guitar to practice on, but the problem is there is no shop selling Flamenco guitar in my country, all what we have is classical so I have to fined one from the internet. I have another problem hear I can't try the guitars which i interested to buy

After my search in the internet i decide to buy one form 2
Raimundo Model 125 Flamenco or
Rodriguez C-3 Flamenco

so if you can suggest to me which one is butter or maybe there is another brand butter than them ???? over there.

hope to get help ......Thanks

I have a Raimundo 130 Classical that I use for flamenco (i.e., I have a golpeador and don't play classical ever [:D]). My experience with Raimundo is that they're mass-produced guitars with little consistency. You can get a gem that is worth far more than its cost (like mine!), or just as easily a total stinker. Not sure about the Rodriguez, hopefully others here can help! Welcome to the foro :)



Raimundo -> RE: Help to buy Flamenco From the internet (Aug. 19 2007 9:33:38)

Welcome to Foro. I don't know about these guitars but I suggest you track down a Bernal.
Might be if you contact Stephen Hill on this Foro he could help advise you.
The other guys will also be able to help it is just that sometimes Stephen has a Bernal for sale.
Good luck.

I don't know anything about the Raimundo guitars, so I can't tell about the differences between them. A few months ago I bought a Manuel Rodriguez, model FF. It's another model than the one you mentioned, but this is an excellent guitar. Playability and sound is even better than you expect for the money.
In the store they told me that Rodriguez still have lots of very good wood in stock and therefore their guitars cost less than a lot of other guitars with the same quality. I don't know, maybe they just told me that to sell me the guitar, but I do know that everytime I hear myself playing, I'm surprise by the sound from that guitar.

I remember a soundclip on this foro played on a Rodrigues C-3f, I believe that's the same as the model you have in mind?

Hope this helps!

Congratulations for finding a guitar! And what a beautiful guitar, especially the rosette.
Did you already try the guitar and how is she like?



Raimundo -> RE: Help to buy Flamenco From the internet (Aug. 25 2007 20:01:22)

hi blanca
first of things Thanks a lot, i didn't try the guitar because its in USA and I'm in Bahrain as i told you before in this post ( we don't have Flamenco Guitar in our country) so we have to order it form out side. but before i bid on this guitar i read a lot about it and search in internet to be sure about it its really wonderful guitar with beautiful sound [;)]



blanca -> RE: Help to buy Flamenco From the internet (Aug. 25 2007 20:33:38)

yes I know you couldn't try, but I thought maybe you received the guitar already..... bit stupid of me, because that would be very, very quick (like impossible [&:], but now you know why I have the donkeys as my avator [;)] )

But when you receive the guitar, maybe you can tell us if the guitar is what you expected it to be.
