headstock designs

I've been accumulating photos of headstock designs over the last year, with the goal of educating myself to recognize as many makers as possible from a distance.
I have a folder of about 100 photos so far.
Does anybody have any thoughts as to how I might make the folder available to the Foro? Or if this would even be of interest/use to anyone here.

that sounds like a great idea.
100 pictures sounds like a lot of work. maybe you can upload the entire folder somewhere as one unit. then place the link to it here.

This would absolutely be of interest! You could just zip the folder and upload it somewhere. Then members could add individual photos as they stumble across them and eventually you'd have a master archive.

That's a facinating study Tony. Would be great to see.

Certainly. I can do all that -- but I'm a little bit lost as to where this "somewhere" is that I should upload it. . . do you think any of the administrators could help? Certainly it is too big for a post. I also have assembled what I am certain is the most complete flamenco glossary (almost 20 pages of 9 pt Arial narrow single spaced) anywhere. That might also be a good resource for the foro to have available. I could zip that with the headstocks.

That's awesome Tony!
I can't wait to have a look at them.
I've been searching for the blanca Miguel Angel Cortes plays for months now and I have not been able to find out which maker it is. There are no videos where you see the headstock well, except for some spot of this one:
You can kinda see that the headstock is not symetrical... which is really weird.
Would you by any chance know which maker it is?
Thanks

PhyreFile

If you need to break the file up into smaller pieces, that'll work just fine.

I've asked a question in the "help" section to see how this might best be handled. Right now it is in 100+ separate files.

But I'm working on it.
