[Description]
Flamenco Model 35 by Hirotaka Yanagibashi. With a head shape reminiscent of Conde Hermanos' Media Luna head, this model shows deep respect for its predecessors in appearance and tone. Despite the roughness of its construction, it firmly embodies a flamenco-like sound, and its full serac finish gives it a rustic, raw, Spanish feel in both tone and appearance. The 640mm string length setting provides a good fit for Japanese hand sizes, and the dry tone, volume, response, and separation of each string, etc. are excellent for playability. Combined with the reasonable pricing for a completely handcrafted instrument, this model can be recommended for both beginners and advanced players.
