I would love a section for nylon stringed guitars, just like we have one for electric.

I, too, would like for AGF to add a nylon string subforum.

I agree with everyone else, I think a Nylon string guitar section on this forum would be a welcomed addition.

I also think an archtop guitar section might be nice for Jazz players.

I'm afraid I have a dissenting view. I've been playing classical guitars since I was 10 and presently have never had less than two of them but I don't see the advantage of having a dedicating sub-forum to the subject of classical or nylon string guitars. The subject fits under the heading of General Acoustic Guitars Discussion. I prefer the simplicity of a minimal number of sub-forums.

I have been in the mood to try some new forums here lately. I originally thought it would dilute participation, but I've been pleased with the response on the the new forums that we've added over the last few months, and our membership and participation on the AGF has actually increased.

I'd prefer to call this - 'Classical / Nylon String Guitar'
Can someone please suggest a good, short description?

I've also been thinking about doing a classical/nylon string Acoustic Guitar Forum CD. Any interest?

JR

JR- I think a Classical / Nylon string guitar CD would be wonderful -with all the interest in classicals in modern music it would be nice to see what our members can come up with -put me down for the first one ! i also think a classical guitar heading or sub group is a worthy task -Thank you !

Since a classical guitar is one, Nylon String Guitar Forum or Nylon String Guitar Discussion should suffice.

I think you can go with Herb's suggestion and then make sure "Classical" is included in the one-sentence description under the title.

I LOVE the idea of a classical section. I like Eric's title of "Classical Corner."

Also, the classical CD is a great idea too!

Kindly,
Danny

"Classical Corner" is the name of the sub-forum on Acoustic Guitar magazine's forum. Unlike what I would expect here, the regular participants are predominantly classical guitarists although there is plenty of discussion otherwise.

JR - thanks for responding!

+1 on Classical / Nylon String Guitar Discussion - "A place to discuss the joys of all things nylon from classical, jazz, flamenco to hybrids"

And yes on the nylon CD. AGF #3 sounds great and I can't wait to get around to ordering it!
