Here is the Tarrega Prelude on a Ramirez
1a I had to replace the top on. Sounds
pretty good even if I do say so myself!
I've ask Steve use the Tarrega Prelude on all
but the first two so a fair comparison could
be achieved. All were recorded using one
Microphone at about 18". No mastering and
no EQ was used.
This is a recording of a Flamenco I built using
Spanish Cypress with a Carpathian Spruce top.
First time I've used this spruce. What do you think?
