Dear Gerhard, your playing is outstanding, so evocative. I also really love your 'silent travel guitar' which I found fascinating. I would love to request another video like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2Gvqr0JnExc.html. Along with ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O7T9pmlTTWE.html I feel it is really clever 'world class' guitar construction, but I imagine many of the problems you solved are not apparent from the original video. So this is a fan request for a more detailed video of the silent travel guitar. Absolutely no problem if not possible, time is short, and you have already pointed the way. (I think it would be interesting to combine the two concepts perhaps.) Thank you again. G.
Thank you Gordon for your kind words. The problem with most travel and silent guitars is the feel (haptics). In order to fix the guitar as one is used to in order to assume the normal playing position, you need the complete body. If you've ever played a guitar without a body, you understand what I'm talking about. You feel uncomfortable. The right arm, the hand feels lost. And as you can see on the video of the guitar box, the guitar have no hold, everything is restless. Not even thinking how to do a golpe (beat with a) course or other strokes on the tapa (guitar top). The guitar box also has to be completely retuned every time. What problems are not apparent from the video?
@@GerhardGrafMartinez Thank you for the reply. It seems such a clever design - for example the two sides nest in a very pleasing way so must be different depths but there is no visible 'step' between either side and the central portion (at 2:22 for example) and yet nor is there an apparent 'slope' either (as the central portion rests on the table from 1:15) - I conclude... magic :-) Some times magic is best left unexplained. :-) Thanks again.
Sure - there is a slope of 2-3 mm on the body, the wall thickness of the two frame wings But everything is just jammed - no screw, no metal, no rubber band.. Magic is building a real flamenco guitar. Look here - one of my self-made guitars from the 80s: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6j1m9Ci8fmc.html
Danke, ich habe beide Bände, aber ich werde es in diesem Leben nicht schaffen, ein echter Flamencospieler zu werden. Ich übe halt fürs nächste Leben voraus.
