Was anybody there? I was there, but seamed like it was not so crowded like last time (economy?)
Tried out a lot of guitars. Condes, Sanchis, Perez, Carillo, etc.
Also tried a chinese flamenco guitar, i think 100 euro or something like that. Almost broke my hands while playing. I think setup was 1 meter at 12th fret. Told him his guitars are very good for the price and he was happy ;)
And got many savarez strings too ;) , tried the tomatito strings after the fair and one of the treble strings torned apart after one day. Tomatito should check his strings more often ;-)..... The Catinga basses are good.
Guitars: Still my favourites are Hnos Sanchis Lopez. Can't beat the price/performance ratio. They were always good but I felt like they were even slightly better than last time.
And the two brothers are also very nice guys btw. (and they speak english ;-) Didn't see the father though. Maybe he didn't like the noise in the fair ;) But also tried all the Ricardo guitars. They were very good too.
The Felipe Condes were also very good, but as you know expensive. There was a FC26 which standed out, played it in a seperate room which they had (not so much noise like outside) for half an hour and really liked it.

I asked Felipe who builds his guitars nowadays and he simply pointed at the chinese guy with the 100 euro guitar with a sneaky smile on his face and said: valencia mucho expensive, china muy bien ..
