Prezado Ed Mac ; Recebi a guitarra Prudêncio Saez 22 em perfeitas condições. Ela é uma guitarra muito leve. Isso já mostra a qualidade da madeira. O tampo de abeto e sendo o fundo e laterais de cipreste deixam o som muito bonito. Um som brilhante e os baixos muito potentes.  O case de carregar a guitarra da marca Cibeles além de muito prático, protege muito bem a guitarra. O veludo azul protege do mal tempo e do frio.  Para mim é novidade aquele protetor do tampo do violão, de tecido preto. Nunca tinha visto. E também a vantagem é que veio um jogo de cordas (strings)novo. Por ser cordas de violão flamenco é difícil de achar no Brasil.  Aqui no Brasil, violões desta qualidade é raro. Somente em luthiers.  Enfim o violão é muito  bom, o case muito prático e leve e grato pelo encordoamento. Estou apreciando muito tocar nesta guitarra e como estudo guitarra clássica, meu objetivo é desenvolver a técnica espanhola do flamenco.  Obrigado pelo envio. Pedro César Pereira , Curitiba,Brazil 

Dear Eduardo  I received the Prudencio Saez 22 guitar in perfect condition. It is a very light guitar, that shows the wood quality. The Spruce top and the Cypress back & sides make the sound very beautiful.  A brilliant sound and strong bass.  The Cibeles hard shell case is very practical , and protects the guitar  very well.  The velvet cover  really protects the guitar from temperature  changes. This accessory is something new for me and very practical as well. It is an advantage that separate  new string set  comes with the guitar,  Flamenco strings are very difficult to get in Brazil. In Brazil it’s very difficult to find guitars of this quality, only with  Luthiers. Bottom line, the guitar is very nice , the case is very practical and the  extra strings set is great.  I’m really enjoying playing this guitar , I’m studying classical guitar , but my goal is to develop a Spanish  Flamenco Technic. Thank you for the shipping.Curitiba,Brazil .

Hi Ed, the guitar arrived well and survived a horrible winter storm during its transit.  My compliments on how carefully well it was packed!  I took it out of the case late last night… once it was all quiet and played some granaina falsetas with it I enjoyed clarity in the trebles, which brings out definition to the strings and has a balance to the sound.  It’s basses are strong, yet not overpowering.  Being an negra, its voicing is such that it projects easily and strongly and provides a colorful tonal character.  Simply one of the best Conde guitars I have ever played. The action setting is perfect! Overall, an awesome flamenco negra guitar!  I am very happy with it! Thanks a bunch!
