The Flamenco model now available!
Following a collaboration with M. Roger Lapierre, Montreal flamenco guitarist, founding member of the Tradición Flamenca group and flamenco guitar teacher, a new guitar model is now offered: the Flamenco! Indeed, following M. Lapierre's great advice, combined with suggestions received from other guitar makers, it has been possible to design as flamenco model that can satisfy the most demanding guitar players!
Here is what M. Lapierre says about his own Moisan Flamenco :
«…this guitar is the softest, most pleasing instrument that I have ever tried. I have played all my repertoire with it and did not feel any tiredness in my hands, arm, back or shoulders. It's absolutely fantastic!»
«…the sound is very powerful, deep but well defined. And note separation, which is so important for rasgueados, comes out real good.»
