Dont overlook experimenting with string set total tension. Sometimes that will mean more to your sound than "the best brand." As you probably know, the different brands do not use a standard method to measure or designate exactly what "light, medium, and heavy" tension means. Good luck!

Thanks Frank, that’s re-assuring to hear as your sound is very nice. I’ll no doubt be asking for some string advice soon :-)

Hearty congrats! I don't know anything about this particular brand, but I trust from the bit that I've read from looking it up that it should provide you with a nice introduction to the world of classical guitars. Enjoy your new adventure! and have fun exploring its new sounds.

A couple of CDs by Dusan Bogdanovic you might like:
https://www.allmusic.com/album/yano-mori-mw0000057945 https://www.allmusic.com/album/myste...s-mw0000638342 Yano Mori is a good sampler of Bogdanovic's music, and I think the Passacaglia from Introduction, Passacaglia, and Fugue 'For the Golden Flower' on Mysterious Habitats is one of the most beautiful and satisfying pieces that has been written for nylon-string guitar. And don't miss 'Reversible Cowboy' on the latter disc- it'll make you smile! |

If you have second thoughts about that first guitar, it’s “Ballester.” Here’s the website:
http://www.guitarrasquiles.com/index...d=1&Itemid=101 It’s missing a lot of information, but there are images of the shop and the products, and there’s contact info if you want to ask about the guitar.
