I recently recorded several of my favorite pieces by Paraguayan composer, Agustín Barrios Mangoré. Here are two of them, well-loved and well-known to most of you. Julia Florida was the first Barrios piece I learned decades ago and I still love playing it. And, of all of Barrios’s waltzes, his Vals Op.8, Nº3 is probably my favorite. Thank you to Stefan Nitschke for such a beautiful sounding guitar.
Thanks for listening!
Hi Leonardo,
Beautiful playing! And I agree with you that Mr. Nitschke made a beautiful sounding guitar for you.
Please tell me, what are the white thingies you use to attach the strings to the tie block? Do you prefer this to the traditional method?
Thanks for your journal.

Thanks Jonathan! Here is a link to the tie blocks I use. I prefer using these to maintain the string angle at the saddle on 6-hole tie blocks. More modern guitars usually have a 12-hole tie block so I don’t use them for those. https://www.stringsbymail.com/diamond-secure-string-ties-tieblock-system-7-beads-white-16283.html
