Hi!
I would appreciate if sy could help me with theese:
1. Do anybody know what type of tuning machines are used for the Felipe V ciprés model on http://www.condehermanos.com/ I mean the 'Copper one'? Is it Fustero or what?
2. Has Fustero any website?
3. What do You guys think of Rubner tuners?
4.Is it true, that keeping Your guitar ALWAYS in the same is the best for the soundboard? And changing each string,while the rest are under the same tension? Is that offer the best opportunity for a new soundboard to 'open up'?
Just because I expierenced with my previous guitar, that it opened up very intensively when I tried different Tunings. For example,I played a LOT that time, eating the strings very quickly, and used to tune All the strings a whole note down, (E-D, A-G etc.) when they were about their end,so to gain some extra time.
Any help welcome - Thanks!
