It is a beautiful guitar. When I play flamenco style guitar it sounds great. I put a fresh set of Savarez Classical Guitar Strings (500CJ) on it after a month. These are high tension strings that are recommended by the manufacturer. The action to the fretboard is low, just a bit higher than on my Les Paul. The sound board resonates well. When I play normal classical passages the tone is smooth and full. When I strum heavily or trill heavily for flamenco style, the guitar rattles, hums and snarls in the flamenco style. It sounds very cool. I tried other flamenco guitars and returned them because they did not respond well to the different styles that I play. I read some of the negative reviews and have difficulty believing that they had the proper strings on the guitar and tuned it in the correct manner. The correct manner is to take the string a bit flat, pluck it, and turn the gear until it is at the correct pitch and then stop. Don't go sharp and then back it down into tune. I don't know any guitar that will hold the pitch that way. Also, due to the method of installing the strings it does take a few days for them to tighten up so that they will stay in tune. That holds true for any guitar that does not have pegs at the bridge. They are hand wrapped and will pull flat for a few days until your knot work is tight. I enjoy playing this guitar very much. My ability improved quite a bit; over the other flamenco guitars I owned and returned. I have played almost every style from classical, rock, ballads, to New Orleans jazz and bebop since 1968. I hope this helps.
