Tomatito Mod. Alcazaba 2009 Flamenco Guitar – A Concert-Level Instrument with Extraordinary Sound and Comfort
The Tomatito Mod. Alcazaba 2009 Flamenco Guitar is a remarkable collaboration between two of Spain’s most respected luthiers, Vicente Carrillo and Juan Miguel González, crafted under the supervision and approval of maestro José Fernández Torres “Tomatito.” Each guitar in this special series reflects the artistry, tradition, and passion of flamenco guitar making at the highest level. It is a model that embodies Tomatito’s vision of flamenco sound—powerful, expressive, and refined—making it a highly sought-after instrument for both professionals and collectors.
This guitar is built from nice tonewoods. The soundboard is made of German spruce, carefully aged for years to maximize resonance, while the back and sides are constructed from cypress of exceptional quality. Together, these materials provide both tonal richness and structural stability, giving the guitar its unmistakable voice. The neck is crafted for comfort, with a scale length of 650 mm and a nut width of 53 mm, perfectly suited for traditional flamenco techniques.
The sound of the Tomatito Mod. Alcazaba 2009 Flamenco Guitar is breathtaking. The basses are deep, full of depth and brilliance, yet remain tight and precise, giving rhythmic passages great definition. The trebles are crystalline, sharp, and singing, carrying a lyrical sweetness that enhances melodic lines with clarity and projection. The midrange glues the registers together with warmth and complexity, ensuring that chords and falsetas sound round and expressive.
The balance across registers is exceptional, and the sustain is impressive for a flamenco guitar, allowing the instrument to carry in both solo and ensemble contexts. Its tonal palette offers both fire and delicacy: when played softly, it reveals an intimate, almost vocal quality; when pushed, it responds instantly with aggressive bite and percussive brilliance, the very essence of a concert-level flamenco guitar.
Playability is equally outstanding. The action is low and fast (2.7 mm E and 2.2 mm e at the 12th fret), giving effortless comfort to both hands. Rasgueados snap crisply, picados are quick and fluid, and arpeggios flow with ease. This combination of comfort and responsiveness makes the guitar suitable for the most demanding professional repertoire.
This Tomatito Mod. Alcazaba 2009 Flamenco Guitar is in very good condition. It is completely original, with only a small repair on the top and light signs of use and play. It comes with its newer case for secure storage and transport.
For the flamenco guitarist or collector seeking an extraordinary concert instrument endorsed by one of the greatest masters of our time, the Tomatito Mod. Alcazaba 2009 Flamenco Guitar offers exceptional quality, comfort, and a sound that is both fiery and deeply expressive.
