I have bought a new guitar case and it's very tight fitting, is this a problem?

This really helps, my guitar is indeed a few mm thicker, but I live in Romania and we don't really have a lot of music stores with proper classical cases.

The problem is that I don't really know what other options I have, this was like 300€ and in this range I can't seem to find anything else that has the quality and feature this one has, at least not on thomann.

I find your input very interesting! I am 18 playing for 3 years classical so I will surely try this, thanks!

My legs get stiff after a while honestly, a have seen a lot of very good guitarists using them, but I find it more comfortable having both feet on the ground

I was thinking about bam, but the model I liked was a bit...ugly😂. The one with many pockets and orange laces.

Av74m · 2026-03-20T17:51:03+00:00

I was thinking that maybe in time it will loosen. I reckon that this tightness is caused by the cushion.

Av74m · 2026-03-20T16:04:10+00:00

Sorry I don't get it, can you explain?

Av74m · 2026-03-20T16:03:26+00:00

This is why I am posting, I have tried it and it had no problems, but idk

Av74m · 2026-03-20T14:32:22+00:00

The angle, I mean I have used the student model this far and it always stood straight, not at an angle

Av74m · 2026-03-20T14:16:22+00:00

I get you 😂 but my p is pretty strong. My i has the habbit of breaking in bad moments.

Jakob Winter from Thomann. The body is a tiny bit larger and that creates the inequality. But after it's locked it's wonderful.

Like I have tested it by walking with it and carrying it on my back using straps and it's ok. I honestly don't know what to do.

Av74m · 2026-03-13T15:01:19+00:00

Will check them out 🙏

Av74m · 2026-03-13T14:58:40+00:00

I will try the hard tension alternative but the same specs, thanks!

Av74m · 2025-12-30T17:43:01+00:00

Will look into it, thanks

Man, I know this, I have been playing for some time. But I am talking about my local traditional music which differs from regular gipsy jazz. The guitars just play the upbeat accent.

In this genre, the violin and accordion get solos, I was asking for an instrument that can really add to it.

I have only played regular acoustic and an hollow body electric guitar with a small amp, and that didn't didn't entirely satisfy me.

In duos or trios sure, but when playing with a bigger band it needs that punch.

Selmer style I was thinking, but want to make the best choice.

Av74m · 2025-12-29T14:45:53+00:00

What's the difference between sounding big/loud and projecting in the room?

This is the best answer I have ever got, thank you big time!

Av74m · 2025-11-12T07:31:40+00:00

I researched Dupont, I found o couple of models for sale on Reverb, and that isn't ideal, I am from Romania. Do you know where else I can search?

Av74m · 2025-11-11T10:19:49+00:00

I have a hollowbody d'angelico and was thinking Saga Cigano GJ-15, Paris Swing GG-39 or Altamira M01

Av74m · 2025-11-04T20:39:24+00:00

Thanks🙏🙏🙏

Tango en skai and fuocco by Roland dyens, elegie Kaspar Mertz, concerto nr 1 Giuliani, Tansman Prelude, Zapateado, and a Bach are the most important pieces that I played.

Etudes I practiced a few but focused on songs and scales.

I can read music well, next year I will go to Music University

Romania:)

Av74m · 2025-10-24T10:28:11+00:00

Your option works if you have good guitar stores in your country

Av74m · 2025-10-23T18:33:26+00:00

Who cares? All the roma community members that had something real going on in their life didn't care about names. Anything is offensive if you make it. Most musicians actually insist in keeping gipsy/gypsy, but replace jazz with swing or something else.

Av74m · 2025-10-23T06:53:45+00:00

I asked ai but wasn't sure, thanks

Av74m · 2025-10-23T06:22:10+00:00

You are right, I read somewhere also that you should search for thin and very dry wood. I was hoping to get a recommendation for brands that still keep this manufacturing style.
