... I'm playing every day as I didn't in eons... my Lanaro flamenco classical guitar, 700 grams of maple and red Paneveggio spruce, (pre-ban) ivory and ebony tuners built by luthier after my beloved Oskar Teller, a nice guitar I had when I was younger.
My fingers are completely relaxed and I enjoy playing a lot... nuances are awesome, vibrato a joy.
Steel strings, well... are steel strings... nylon is like a voice.
Steel strings : solid state = nylon strings : tubes!
