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!
