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 (Gravina workshop), 1973, is now in stock. It is a flamenco blanca (white) with the “Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso” label. It has been played very hard, and there is a history of numerous crack repairs, and there are signs of multiple cracks over a wide area. All of these have been patched from the inside and are in good working shape. The entire piece has probably been repainted, but there are still some play marks and dings. There are also some minor weather checks throughout the paint. Tuning machines have been removed and filled with wood, and wooden pegs (friction type, not gear type) have been installed.
The instrument itself has high potential, and the change to wooden pegs has had a synergistic effect, making it more agile and powerful. The sound also has some softness, but each note is well separated.
