Hermanos Conde Atocha 2024 – Spectacular sounding Conde flamenco guitar – loud and crisp sound!
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 is basically new and was built early in 2024 – it is in amazing condition.
The top is made of best spruce wood and the back and sides of finest cypress. The nut width is 52 mm and the scale length 650 mm.
The neck is perfectly straight and the action is super low (2.7 mm E and 2.2 mm e at the 12th fret)
