I measured something closer to 15" to put the horn near ear level with the Flamencos. Keep in mind that the Flamencos are a bit shorter than Valencias and the bottom doesn't have the riser skirt. Ear level with the horn is the bottom line whatever that works out for you not what shindo did for his room and seating and body size / ear level. And I disagree on that point too... I feel his leg height is closer to 12-15" than 8" that is for sure. And also don't neglect that he has a scalloped cross brace that visually makes the legs look several inches shorter. As long as the center of the horn throat is near your effective ear level it is good to go.
