And so, forum member Mark turns me on to Chuck Marfione (All Strings), and All Strings lists a number of guitars including Kremona. So I go on the Kremona site and I run across the Sophia S63CW. The Sophia has electronics and won't do the Barbera pickup but will ship a guitar without electronics. Mr. Marfione can take delivery and install the Barbera (which I like a lot because it is really a good pickup and it is not weighty or bulky.

And then...in going back to look at the Sophia it turns out that the dimensions are almost the same as on my X10 acoustic. I've always complained that CF nylon string guitars did not project like wooden instruments. Now I have an ideal comparison. The sound holes are different but the major difference is material.

I'm tempted to make the order, dithering.

By the way, I contacted blackbird and the Ekoa nylon string guitar is down the line.
