El Gran Maestro Paco de Lucia trying out my latest instrument. This meeting was supposed to last only 2 minutes but he loved the guitar and was jamming on it for nearly half an hour. I have a couple clips recorded so you can see and hear the greatest flamenco player playing and commenting on this instrument.

Classical Guitar Magazine recently published an article about me in January 2011 issue. Click here to read more.

Guitar Salon International put on a four guitar comparison for the public. Check out some listeners' comments about this comparison:

• "The Perelman sound the most convincing here, e.g. closest to my idealized tone/timbre for this selection, followed by Ray, Bellido, and the Romero in very distant 4th place..."
• "...I agree, the Perelman fit my taste much more. The Bellido came in second, the Ray third, and again, the Romero way behind."
• "Have to say that the Perelman really stood out for me as well."
• "Truely allows a nice comparison. I personally prefered the Perelman..."
• "Perelman is clearly the best (to my ears) for this piece. The Bellido and Ray are a coin-toss, the richness of the former versus the clarity of the latter. The PR junior isn't even in the same league."
• "Different players have different tastes. These are four very nice guitars, but the Perelman is really outstanding."
