An amazing talk showing new tendencies for the making of classical guitars was done at the school of music of the PUCV by Ricardo Louzao, who came to Valpo to deliver two concert guitars to guitar players from that school.... just listening its wonderful sound and looking this balsa wood and carbon fiber cross bracing as compared to standard fan bracing, it makes a world of difference for these mecano pampa guitars.
