It takes some time to build up callouses on you fingers and with steel strings you need them or the pain will come. I don't have callouses anymore either, so another reason for the slack of playing nowadays. Once in a while I do pick up the Martinez with the nylon strings, always good to have a nylon around to keep the mind and fingers active. I must admit, I don't know the situation on the quality of the Goyas after 1990, so I hope and expect they are decent in playing and sound quality. I do remember they went downhill when they left Sweden, but where are they made now? What do you think of yours?
