[Profile]
Among the many Spanish flamenco guitar brands, Conde Hermanos is one of the most popular. The brand began in 1919 when Domingo Esteso, who had worked as a craftsman with Santos Hernandez in Manuel Ramirez's workshop, opened a workshop in Gravina, Madrid. Esteso's nephew, Faustino Conde, joined him and his brothers, Mariano and Julio, in this workshop. After Esteso's death, they continued this brand under the label 'Viuda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso'. When Esteso's wife passed away, the label was changed to 'Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso/Conde Hermanos' and from this time on, the name Conde Hermanos started to be used as the brand name.
In the 1960s, all the models were redesigned to be unique, and the half-moon cut Media Luna head shape was also adopted as a symbol of high-end models from this time on, dramatically expanding their fame and market share.
Conde Hermanos guitars have been used by many famous flamenco guitarists, including the famous Paco de Lucia, and are still a must-have for flamenco guitar fans today.

[Description]
Conde Hermanos Felipe Workshop Model A26 (2001) is now in stock. The model has a majestic appearance, including the trademark Media Luna head shape, and the distinctive tone that sums up the brand's concept has long been considered a worldwide standard. Until the 1990s, Conde was known for its hard, rigid sound and sharp acoustics, but since around 2000, the sound of the Felipe workshop has become slightly lighter and fuller, and this piece is also characterized by a rich, powerful sound. It has a flamenco taste and high functionality, making it a piece that is fully equipped with the charm of a standard flamenco blanca model.
There are no cracks or other major repair history. There are some playing scratches, but they are at a level that can be said to be appropriate for its age.
