Ron.M -> RE: Anyone play/own a Francisco Navarro Concert Flamenco? (Apr. 11 2008 19:55:26)

IMO at an entry level it's often not so much the guitar as the player. My Anders Negra sometimes after many hours of coaxing and listening, and when I'm just about to give up, surprises me by coming back with exactly the sound I wanted in the first place. And I'm amazed. And realize how authentic guitar this is! Not to say that Anders is the only"extranjero" Flamenco Guitar maker living in Andalucia. There are quite a few, including Stephan and others I've tried by the courtesy of Jim Opfer. The potential of the guitar has to be there first IMO. Otherwise you are just fighting with it. BIG problem for all you US guys is the dollar/euro rate which is at an all time low. All these guitarerros are incredibly sincere and build their instruments with love and respect which you feel when you work with them. Much better than you will ever get from a Yamaha or Apache etc IMO, even if it's going to cost you a bit more. cheers, Ron
