Domingo Esteso 1926

Domingo Esteso 1926 - fine handmade flamenco guitar with great historical significance and spectacular sound!

The Spanish guitar maker Domingo Esteso Lopez was one of the great guitar makers of the early 20th century, who was apprenticed to Manuel Ramirez. After the death of Manuel Ramirez, he opened his own store in Calle Gravina, where his 13-year-old nephew Faustino Conde joined him in 1926 and Mariano Conde in 1929. After his death at the end of 1937, Faustino and his two brothers, Mariano and Julio Conde, continued their work under the label Vda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso. Domingo Esteso's guitars are considered monumental and historic, some of them are exhibited in the world's great museums and tell the most important part of the history of the flamenco guitar.

This guitar is from 1926 and is a very beautiful flamenco guitar. It is in good condition and the shellac has been professionally refreshed.

It has a spruce top and beautiful cypress back and sides. 655 mm scale length and 51 mm nut width.

Even by today's standards, the volume of this instrument is impressive, and the loose, woody and recorded sound is something you can only find on a vintage instrument.
The sound is absolutely magical, from the lowest to the highest registers. You can play it softly to elicit a beautiful, singing lyricism, but if you really push it, it growls like an old-world flamenco guitar.

It comes with a newer guitar case.
