[Profile]
Few names in the world of flamenco guitars carry the weight and prestige of Conde Hermanos. The brand’s roots stretch back to 1919, when Domingo Esteso—once a master craftsman in the legendary Manuel Ramírez workshop—opened his own atelier in Madrid. Together with his nephews Faustino, Mariano, and Julio Conde, the workshop grew into one of Spain’s most iconic guitar-making dynasties.

By the 1960s, Conde Hermanos had revolutionized flamenco guitar design, introducing bold innovations such as the unmistakable Media Luna headstock, now a universal symbol of the brand’s finest instruments. Their guitars quickly became the gold standard for flamenco performers worldwide, admired for their power, projection, and unmistakable voice.

Generations of the Conde family have since carried forward this tradition, with workshops in Gravina, Felipe V, and Atocha each contributing to the brand’s legacy. Today, Felipe Conde and Mariano Conde continue to craft guitars under their own names, preserving the spirit of Conde while infusing their own artistic vision.

Most importantly, Conde Hermanos guitars have been the instruments of choice for the greatest flamenco masters—including the legendary Paco de Lucía. For aficionados, a Conde is not just a guitar, but an essential part of the flamenco sound itself.

[Description]
This fine example captures everything players love about Conde. Though it shows light playwear, the guitar remains in excellent condition with its original finish beautifully preserved. The neck is straight, the action set for comfortable playability, and the response immediate and lively.

Its voice is unmistakably Conde: bright, crisp, and percussive, with that fiery cutting edge that defines true flamenco tone. At once responsive and powerful, this guitar invites the player to explore the full expressive range of the art form.
