Made in Spain by a leading brand of flamenco guitar luthiers this is:

Aros y fondo: de madera of Cyprus

Tapa: Pino Abeto alemán

Scale: from Ébano.

Mango of Cedro.
In short a true flamenco to study

UTILIZATION

The handle is + pleasant, close button and the shrinking nikel, fingers go there alone
string height was taken from the addition of a BLUESTiCK, I want to keep snapping flamenco sound, very bright and percussive
For rhythm games is impressive efficiency

+ Round for a game for the classic example, it is not suitable
It lacks safe, sound is dry, not rounded, especially in acute slamming well

SOUNDS

It's perfect for flamenco, rhythm and Falcetti
Bass and treble well presents who stand still
The nuances in Falcetti take all their senses, rasguedos become formidable, it is a flamenco ... I know I'm repeating myself ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use for almost 3 years and I tried many models, Ramirez, Contreras before buying, she caught the eye and ear, a cut above the other 2 luthiers in the same price range of course

Incomparable with the range of guitar I had before, Takamine, Esteves, Alhambra ...

+ What I like in this guitar is a brand I wanted to invest in a true flamenco, it is a story (3 days in Madrid with two friends was walking the Spanish luthiers), color, yellow I did not want a red color very widespread in flamenco, and especially his touch and his
Of the grip I had the favorite, even when I left home Contreras, following

Issue price / quality ratio is dear
The finishes are not perfect, but minor details that hinder anything, and there I quibble, but it's true that for the price we can expect better
It is the craft, so heavy, very good
Besides small problem tuning during the first year, now all is well

If I had to buy another, I would stay at Ramirez, breaking the piggy bank to gain volume and fullness to the sound (the purple does wonders in conjunction with cedar but it cost the skin of c **** Islands) & %&%&%&% good introduction
