Description

Fernando Vera 1976 Vihuela – a very noble instrument with excellent sound made after an instrument of Luis Milan (1535/ 36)

Fernando & Cesar Vera were master guitar makers in Madrid during the 1950’s and 1960’s. Madrid at that time was a major guitar-making center producing some wonderful instruments from small workshops, and the Vera brothers were highly regard among the Madrid builders. Their guitars are similar to those by Marcelino Lopez Nieto in attention to detail and acoustic properties. They have a shorter scale than the Ramirez guitars of that era.

There is a 6 page biography with photos of the luthiers at their workbench in the hardcover book: “Guitarreros de Madrid. Artesanos de la prima y el bordón”. by Luis F. Leal Pinar, published in 2008

This Fernando Vera 1976 Vihuela is a real masterpieces. As with so many vihuelas, the historical model by Luis Milan 1535/36 served as the basis.
But beyond that, this vihuela has some construction features that make it suitable for the modern guitarist to venture into the world of the vihuela.
It has walnut back and sides, which give it a special clarity and sustain. The top is made of cedar and brings additional warmth.
The scale length is 630 mm and the nut width is 60 mm.

The sound of this fine Fernando Vera 1976 Vihuela is beautiful and it exudes a certain magic.
It first delights with a transparent and light tone. The sound is very clear, sweet and absolutely charming. Nevertheless, it has the certain warmth and a good sustain.
The volume of sound that this vihuela unfolds is enormous and we were thrilled how both the listener and the player get a wonderful sound experience.
It is an absolute pleasure to play this fine instrument and let it take you to distant places and times gone by.

This Fernando Vera 1976 Vihuela has one previous owner who ordered it directly from Fernando Vera. It has been treated with extreme care and is in very good condition.

It comes with a custom made case that is very stable.
