This instrument is constructed in the Spanish tradition, light but strong. It possesses the shattering brilliance expected for authentic Flamenco. The geometry and resulting action are true to Flamenco tradition, the strings excetionally low to both fingerboard and soundboard. Combined with its exposive power, projection and speed of attack, the instrument has remarkable definition. Clarity is exceptional from the deep bass to the highest treble positions.
