I finally finished the Vicente Arias copy!  Since I wasn’t making this guitar for anyone in particular it kept getting pushed back by the guitars people had ordered.  Here you have a video and some photos of it “in the white”  The sound changes once it is varnished but it is a very slight and predictable change and the builders among you will hear the lack of varnish.  Javier Riba, who will be opening the Cordoba Guitar Festival this year, came by and played a little Sor for us, study no. 12 op. 6.  If you remember, he owns the original and let me do an extensive examination of it.  When you make a copy you are usually trying for both an aesthetic and an acoustic match but the aesthetics are usually easier than the acoustics.  In this case I was very pleased to hear Javier say that the feel of the guitar is very similar to the original and the sweetness of the tone is there too.  The video was made with an audio recorder which also does video but it seems that for a really good audio take it needs to be quite close.  Thanks to Toni Valls and Carlos Juan Busquiel for the advice on finding a recorder and on making the recording itself.
