Hello, My name is Robbie O'Brien. I recently went to Spain and filmed a complete Flamenco Guitar Building course and documentary. It takes the viewer from the design in the workshop all the way to the stage where the instrument is used in a professional performance in Granada with the Oscar Quero dance company. Spanish luthier, Paco Chorobo of Chorobo Guitars, presents the course. It includes interviews with historians, performers, luthiers as well as city tours of Sevilla, Córdoba, Málaga, Granada and Úbeda. For anyone interested you can see some preview videos at www.obrienguitars.com Thanks to Simon for allowing me to post this information.
RE: Flamenco Guitar Building course ... (in reply to mounirben)
Yes, there is an introductory promotional price going on right now. There is also an article I wrote about the filming of this in the latest issue of American Lutherie magazine from the Guild of American Luthiers http://www.obrienguitars.com/courses/flamenco/
