that was loverly what a tone , is the guitar maker more know for classical or flamenco guitars , it really sings , how is it comparable to say a j.bellido ? or conde ?

@sacromonte2

Thanks.

Conde sound is bright and metalic.

This guitar is more like Gerundino with a dark, gravel tone to her voice.

Jose Lopez Bellido guitars have a similar voice but in my experience JLB guitars are a bit heavier in weight.

Superbe.

Which brand of strings do you use, I love the sound of this guitar?'

Thanks for your comments.

I use Savarez Alliance Corum, normal tension. I think these are the best strings available.

Hi Jim,

I just started playing flamenco guitar some 2 months ago.

This song is so beautiful, I hope to play is someday.

Do you have any tabs from this song?

And yes, those Stephen Hill guitars are awesome.

I saw all his video's, workshops etc.

Best wishes,

Geert.

Jim,

Thanks.

I will give them a try on the flamenca blanca I just finished building as an amateur luthier.

Best regards,

Xavier
