You have excellent taste. I played my first Rodrigues y Hijos guitar last week at a local guitar store. It was by far the finest classical instrument I have ever played in my 30 years as a guitarist. The guitar I played was a Model 2945 selling for $545. MUCH better instrument than guitars selling for MANY thousands of dollars. Not only was the sound extraordinarily rich, but it also had a very buttery soft feel and very confortable on the hand muscles. I will be in Madrid next weekend and again April 14. I definitely will be buying a M. Rodriguez y Hijos guitar when I am in Madrid.
