Description
Spectacular sounding Hermanos Conde flamenco guitar. The real flamenco sound for professional players!
This great guitar was bought directly from the Conde shop by Nono Jero who is a famous flamenco guitarist from Jerez de la Frontera. We have linked a video, where he is playing this guitar on the festival of Casabermeja. Antonio Rey also made a recording of this guitar in the Conde shop (link below).
The story of the famous Hermanos Conde (Conde brothers) begins with Domingo Esteso. He belongs to the most important and famous guitar builders of the early 20th century. In 1917 he opened his own workshop in Calle Gravina 7 in Madrid. There he worked from 1926 with his nephew Faustino Conde and later with Mariano and Julio Conde.
Domingo Esteso Lopez died in 1937, but Faustino Conde and his brothers Mariano and Julio continued to run the workshop under the name “Vda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso” and then later under “Hermanos Conde Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso”.
As the demand for guitars increased, another shop was opened in Calle Atocha 53, for which Julio Conde was responsible.
This shop still exists today, although the shop in Calle Gravina 7 has been closed in the meantime.
This Hermanos Conde guitar was built in 2021 and is the perfect example of a good Conde flamenco guitar.
The top is made of best spruce wood and the back and sides of finest Spanish cypress. The nut width is 52 mm and the scale length 660 mm.
The neck is perfectly straight and the action is super low.
The sound of this Hermanos Conde guitar is fantastic. Powerful, hearty and full. At the same time the guitar is very balanced and clear. Cypress wood is so original for flamenco guitars and here we find the perfect example of a flamenca blanca. It has all the qualities a professional guitar player expects.
It has the power of the great Madrid guitars of the 60s and 70s.
The guitar is in very good condition.
A hard shell case comes with this beautiful Conde Hermanos.
