A "Principio" Flamenco: The Entry into the Caballero by MR Universe
"Principio" (beginning in Spanish) sums up the idea of this series: to offer a flamenco-style guitar designed to accompany the first years of playing, with craftsmanship attentive to the fundamentals. It features lutherie focused on responsiveness, refined aesthetics (wood mosaic rosette, gold tuners), and a matte micro-porous water-based finish, pleasant to the touch and favorable to wood vibration.
For Whom, and in Which Styles?
The Principio Flamenco CA-PM-FE is aimed at beginners and intermediates who want a nylon-string guitar with a flamenco temperament: clear attacks, rhythmic playing, vocal/dance accompaniment, and right-hand technique practice. Thanks to the cutaway and onboard electronics, it is also very suitable for amplified rehearsals, lessons, and small stages, while remaining relevant for rumba, Latin music, and nylon-string pop.
Sound
Its solid spruce top provides a lively and articulated response: a wood known for its precision, particularly appreciated when seeking clear attacks and good note separation. The agathis back and sides contribute to a warm balance, while the advertised special treatment enhances the expected percussive aspect of a flamenco guitar. The matte micro-porous water-based finish (open pore) allows the wood to breathe better, promoting a sense of openness and resonance. Finally, the Hannabach 600HT strings with Sol 3 carbon contribute to roundness and definition, with a homogeneous response across the entire range.
