To Torres or not to Torres.

Javier Riba was in town this week for some fret work and while he waited he was working on the pieces for his upcoming concert in Italy.  I asked him to record something for me on the Torres copy and the same thing on a cypress concert guitar.  I made the Torres copy in 2005 and the cypress in 2010.  The video was made with a digital still cam, there was a thunderstorm, and a few car noises so sound is about as bad as it gets, let’s say this is just for fun.  Tárrega’s Prelude No. 1
