I've been as interested in nylon string guitars as I am in playing them; I've traveled through 50 of them. I find their long history and continual evolution to be fascinating.

I like having a quality instrument but I do not associate cost with quality. For example I use my brother-in-laws expensive Ramirez as a comparison point but find that a Cordoba at less than half the cost sounds just as good.

For someone just starting out with nylon I recommend picking up any reasonably priced instrument made by a reliable company. It may not have the projection and tonal qualities of a $10,000 instrument, but it will offer the feel and warmth of nylon strung guitars, will be a start.

that's my 2 cents
