Very nice work. The two instruments work really well together. This piece sound so traditional in some way. It sounds very Spanish. I really like it. It set a good mood and tone and the dynamic shading is extraoridinary. Great job.

- That is a great question. I can inquire this weekend regarding who sells Bunya tops. I can at least get a contact for you in Australia who may be able to answer that question. Bunya is a great, environmentally friendly wood, which shares the same characteristics as spruce. Its a great tone wood !
A spanish made classical guitar sounds really cool ! If you have any links you could pass on that would be great. I am always looking for new guitars ! I actually just got the Cole Clark FL1A and I can't put it down ! I have wanted a classical guitar for years ! Thanks for the comment and I'll get back to you regarding the bunya tops asap.
Thanks Luis, all the best,
Brent

- Hey Luis,
Your guitars are beautiful ! How many do you make a year ? Do you sell them ? The guitar banjo and the parlor guitar caught my eye ! Do you ship internationally ?
