Spectacular sounding Hermanos Conde Flamenco guitar. The real flamenco sound for professional players!
The history of the famous Hermanos Conde (Conde brothers) begins with Domingo Esteso. He was one of the most important and famous guitar makers of the early 20th century. In 1917, he opened his own workshop at Calle Gravina 7 in Madrid. From 1926, he worked there 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 later „Hermanos Conde Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso“.
As the demand for guitars increased, another store was opened in the Calle Atocha 53 was opened, for which Julio Conde was responsible.
This store still exists today, although the store at Calle Gravina 7 has since closed.
This Hermanos Conde guitar was built in 2002 and is the perfect example of a good Conde flamenco guitar.
The top is made from the finest spruce and the back and sides from the finest Spanish cypress. The nut width is 52 mm and the scale length is 660 mm.
The neck is perfectly straight and the string action is super flat at 2.7 mm E6 and 2.2 mm E1.
The sound of this Hermanos Conde guitar is fantastic. Powerful, warm 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 characteristics that a professional guitar player expects.
It has the power of the great Madrid guitars of the 60s and 70s.
The guitar has been perfectly restored and maintained over the years by Valeriano Bernal. He has done such a great job that small repairs are barely visible or noticeable.
This beautiful Conde Hermanos comes with a hard case.
