I bought this fabulous guitar built and signed by Manual Adalid in Barcelona recently, after trying out a dozen Spanish-made classical guitars...this one was the 2nd best guitar I tried...the best one cost $22,000.  Manuel is the son of the founder of the well respected Spanish brand Esteve. Manuel become their chief Luthier in 1980 after his father retired and he went on to become one of Spain's most respected Flamenco Luthiers. This guitar is his Hauser model, with an incredibly clear, balanced and bold tone:  you can hear a sound clip here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T10d85PA_ho  The workmanship is absolutely flawless, with a gorgeous rosette and purfling.  The action is easy and responsive to soft and hard playing, with seriously excellent projection...this guitar will easily fill a concert hall. I have another Adalid being made for me, so I don't need both instruments. Below are the specs.  Feel free to contact me for more information.  Because I travel on business to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney frequently, there is a possibility of picking up this guitar in one of those cities in the next month or so. But shipping is easily arranged.  This is a fabulous, professional concert classical guitar that I guarantee will match or exceed any instrument available in Australia.
