That's an interesting question, and I'm looking forward to some
answers. Do you mean people who play both flamenco and classical
and use the appropriate guitar for each or do you mean only those
who play classical on a flamenco guitar? I'm sure millions play
flamenco on a classical guitar. That works a bit better with
a capo on.
One who was playing both flamenco and renaissance lute music
might find that the flamenco instrument would be closer to
the lute than the classical in timbre and therefore in
feeling. Anyone do that? DaveA
