I've mentioned on other posts that I've been getting into Brazilian
music lately. So over the past few weeks, I've been haunting local
music stores -- call it the beginning stages of finding a classical
(nylon string) guitar to play this music on. What's immediately
obvious to me is that the wide, flat fingerboard is quite a ...
stretch for my small hands.
Does anyone know of a company that builds a nylon string instrument
for the jazz player -- meaning a radius'd fingerboard and/or a less
wide neck. I know that there are some luthiers out there that will
build you one as a special order, ie: Roger Borys has a "Jazz Classic"
model. I was hoping I could find one for less than the independent
luthier price, if you know what I mean...
Thanks in advance,
Russ
