This flamenco guitar has been made by the prestigious firm Hermanos Conde from Madrid, in 1992, the period of the best splendor after the death of Faustino and Mariano Conde late 80s early 90. After working together for years on the street Gravina 7, Mariano Conde decided to leave his brother Faustino and open, with her children Felipe and Mariano Conde, his own workshop in the street Felipe V in Madrid. They have run the workshop until 2010 maintaining the building line and tradition that his father and uncle were transmitted.
The woods in this flamenco guitar are simply perfect. The top is made of German spruce, with an amazing grain: completely straight and uniform. The back and sides are made of an extraordinary cypress. The finishes are the typical in Conde Hermanos work: simple and elegant. The clear tone of the rosewood all along the binding works and the head made us call it “The blonde one”. The Gotoh pegbox is worth mentioning: just beautiful, and of the highest quality possible.
This flamenco guitar is set in one of the most wanted and valued periods of the firm, “Felipe V”: the 90s. These instruments offers all of us the very best, regarding quality sound, and comfort, with a perfect and difficult-to-match balance. We are convinced it was this kind of instrument which made the difference for the firm to reach the next level of excellence and worldwide recognition. A really flamenco timbre with such tone clarity, which makes it the perfect instrument for the accompaniment of dancing and singing, as well as for concerts.
The strings height and adjustment which this guitar allows is simply perfect, this permits an extremely comfortable touch in both hands and an increase in fluidity when playing the instrument.
The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent and completely original, without any kind of cracks or repairs whatsoever.
