LJL, what kind of microphone are you using?
Not too familiar with recording the guira, but have played many times.
I think the intrument itself should give yu the best sound you are looking for, however if its not close to what you want it will be just as hard recording it with good results.
Instrument, performance , room, mic, should be the important things in getting a good recording. In that order too. If any of those are not up to the task, the recording will be less than you wish.
Eq could be your friend, but if its sooo much, something is not right from the beginning.
Most of the time room acoustics, and the mic placement is key.
