Our point of view
Cadizsound works around the small details that decide whether a flamenco guitar becomes a long-term companion: the way it answers the right hand, the speed of the attack, the balance across registers and the confidence it gives the player.
A good guitar deserves an informed player. This journal exists to make that judgment sharper.
