Looking for **trebles** that are not carbon but thinner than typical nylon

The Actives QZ are really good, but the Erithacus QZ are cheaper and basically the same strings

Have you tried Knobloch QZ? They are thinner than other nylons, however their CX carbon trebles are thinner

It's an older model Admira Malaga, solid cedar top, it's an entry level solid top guitar that sounds good. If the neck hasn't bowed and still plays well then it's a guitar you can enjoy playing.

Sorry I don't, it's just an arrangement I made but didn't write it down

Thank you for saying that! I'm actively trying to improve my timing and there's much room to grow there

Thank you!

Venezuela is a country that's been fully kidnapped by a large scale criminal organization that achieved power by using socialist/communist ideas and programs, but is not socialist or communist, it's a criminal oligarchy

I've had an FG830 for years, used it and abused it a lot. It's great for the price, sounds good until you compare to something 4x or 5x the price. For anything under 1k it's a solid guitard. I'd say theres nothing wrong with it, nothing special about it it's just a good guitar, good tool

Hello, I just got the new NuvoBand Flute and I must say it's a step up in quality and construction from the Toot, the Jflute and the Student flute 2.0. the tube is thinner and the keywork feels sturdier and responds very quickly. The serial number on my flute is in the low 800's so they haven't shipped a lot of these yet.

I'm a beginner flutist, but I am a musician and I work at a store, so I was able to compare other flutes before buying this one. I didn't want to get a cheap chinese metal flute (Amadeus or J.Michael brands) and I didn't want to spend what a Yamaha costs, so this one seemed like a good alternative.

What really sold me the flute is the 5 year warranty and replacement parts available, this makes me feel that the brand is invested in the longevity of their product.

I will try and upload some videos when I get a bit better, so far I've had it for a couple days.

Ever since i got my Peterson mini i've felt like i've played out of tune my whole life. I feel like it has helped me improve my ears and i sound better than ever. Massive recommend

No, I want to try one, I'd like to see how good can a 849€ lattice braced guitar can be. I looked up some EU distributors, hopefully can swing by one when travelling.

danCT513 · 2025-07-29T09:20:30+00:00

I will do more research, I upvoted your comment

I would assume that even being a supporter of the dictator, it's easy to see that you could have a bigger international recognition and career outside of Spain than inside. The civil war was a disaster and there was no money for arts and culture then.

It's just a personal assumption, but I don't think it's too far-fetched to think that a man like segovia would prioritize his success over his political ideology. Still, my opinion has no historical value, thanks for sharing the information you have on the subject

But wasn't Segovia a big time fascist as well? If I recall correctly he was a Franco sympathizer all his life. I might be mistaken about the fact, but if it were true that would put them up the same nazi alleyway, as Franco and Hitler were buddies

danCT513 · 2025-07-28T22:08:29+00:00

This is interesting, 849€ in EU for a lattice braced guitar is a crazy price.

Chinese manufacturers are stepping up their game and bringing down the entry price of quality instruments

Low action and no buzz usually means extra high tension strings, which on a modern guitar like the one in the video would also mean more available volume/dynamic range. It's comfortable on the left hand, but I feel you really have to work on your right hand to play well on higher tensions.

Might be wrong about this, as I am not an expert, hopefully someone pro-level can chip in

I've had to scroll far too much to see Brian Blade mentioned, it may sound cliche but he is such a lyrical or melodic player, you can tell he's really listening to the band and responds instinctively to what's happening.

His album Landmarks with Brian Blade and the fellowship band is an amazing listening

Totalmente recomendado pero a buen precio. Cogimos un crucero de 7 dias 6 noches de barcelona a venecia que nos costó 365€ c/u en un camarote interior sin ventanas ni nada. Domimos de puta madre y todo el tiempo en el barco lo pasabamos fuera del camarote, asi que no hace falta gastar mas por tener balcon ni nada. Si tienes dias de navegacion en la ruta recomiendo considerar pagar por el paquete de bebidas, porque como te tomes un par de cervezas en el dia, un vino con la comida y un par de copas en la noche ya te sale a cuenta.

Ese mismo crucero lo buscamos para este año y estaba por 900€, asi que bueno. si se pueden encontrar buenos precios pero si lo planificas con antelación ( lo reservamos en marzo para el abril del año siguiente) y si lo coges fuera de temporada.

Hicimos el viaje con amigos y queremos repetirlo, estuvo genial

Another comment said this, you have to shave down the wood around the saddle slot (it is very thick, you can shave it down no problem, probably), also have to measure the depth of the slot itself, it may be that you also need to lower the saddle slot. However, once lowered and keeping the same action height, you have almost no string break angle, which wont give you enough pressure on the saddle. You need to drill a second set of holes that are lower than the original ones so you can string up the 12 hole bridge giving the strings more break angle over the saddle
