The choice for the nylon guitar is very interesting. But at the same time its a shame that it was chosen as part of a south american instrument library when it seems emblematically mexican if the reputation of the town of paracho is to say anything about this, mexico of course being north america and not south america. Also a shame since based on what I looked up Paracho makes a lot more than just guitars, like their vihuelas, concheros, bajo sextos, 10-string mandolins, and well really the repertoire of mexican instruments alone couldve followed for its own set of instruments alone if not alongside its closest neighbors like the rest of central america from guatemala to panama and the US. I’ve actually bought the sample library and for sure it definitely has a unique quality to the sound, I actually really like it. Though by putting this guitar it also ends up sidestepping a number of way more south american guitars like the peruvian nylon with their signature vibrato technique or the godin semiacoustic which are both super popular elsewhere too like in ecuador and peru both for musica criolla as well as the Andean huaynos and similar genres. A guitar is a guitar at the end of the day though, but for sure if only looking at south america alone there were definitely more than plenty of options for so many things without the need to go to the navajo, mexico and cuba. I got to the part regarding the guitarron, and when richard harvey said there werent any instruments that play the bass it brought me back of thinking of the guitars I was just talking about. I’ve definitely seen the godin semiacoustic be used in folkloric and folk-pop settings as a very deep and bassy sound though i have also heard it be accompanied by electric basses also. Meanwhile I’m not exactly sure on the specifics though perhaps it is a special acoustic bass guitar, since in peruvian criollo music the guitars play for some veeery deep baritone sounds sometimes which may have also been what richard meant by the lowest strings of the guitar. In any case its interesting he even says about anachronism when panflute bands (aka putting panflutes with charangos and bombo leguero in one ensemble) are quite the epitome of anachronism, they were made up by a group of argentinians in the later half of the 20th century if im not mistaken. Meanwhile the actual still very living folk violin tradition thats been in south america for 400-something years by now is definitely one instrument not present in the library lmao. It’s in the end a very interesting discussion, though for sure the history regarding the folk music of this part of the world is very very vast.

A little bit too much reverb on the instruments. I wish we could hear the unadulterated sound of these special instrument.
