Flamenco guitar Pedro Muriel 2022 (with CITES)

This flamenco guitar has been made by master luthier Pedro Muriel in 2022. This guitar maker, who lives in Herrera (Sevilla), started in this world due to his great passion for flamenco guitars. It is remarkable to mention that he was Francisco Sanchez de Estepa´s disciple as he learnt this fine art. The best guitar makers´ instruments ever have passed through his hands: Gerundino Fernández, Manuel Reyes, Francisco Barba, Santos Hernández, Marcelo Barbero… among other ones. This experience has provided him with the chance to carefully study the different structures, thus acquiring an extense knowledge in the guitar making art. As a result, he has become established as one of the novice craftsmen with greatest impact. His guitars provide the player with an extraordinarily high quality and unique as well as surprising acoustics.

The sound of this guitar is spectacular, the combination of Brazilian rosewood (with its corresponding CITES documentation) and cedar, as we have commented on other occasions, is a safe bet which guarantees a big, clear sound with projection, these are qualities which a great concert guitar must have.

This flamenco guitar is absolutely exceptional. Every guitar we receive from this craftsman is awaited with that tingling in the stomach similar to what we used to feel as children on Christmas Eve. Once again we receive an instrument of the highest category in all aspects: construction, touch, ‘pulsation’ (stiffness/softness), sound quality…. Pedro is undoubtedly one of the best craftsmen of our time and his guitars remind us of the best-made guitars by guitar makers such as Miguel Rodríguez or Marcelo Barbero. This guitar has a big sound and a really surprising projection, with a timbre typical of guitars built over 30 years ago. It is very versatile and capable of adapting perfectly to any of the different styles of guitar playing: concert and accompaniment to singing and dancing.

The tension is medium, with a very balanced height between strings in the saddle and fingerboard, providing us with a high degree of comfort for both hands.

The condition of this flamenco guitar is new.
