[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 (2000) is in stock. This model is equivalent to AF-25R,although it is not specified on the label. 648mm scale, which is rare for this brand. It is a flamenco Negra (black) with Central and South American rosewood back and sides,repainted entirely with shellac. The sound has been softened just enough to bring out the strong rigidity of the conde, and the sound has become more natural and balanced, with a strong flamenco feel.There are scratches throughout, but they are minor, and there is a history of crack repair on the treble side of the fingerboard, on the heel of the back, and on the lower treble side and near the center, with two cracks on the back extending about 20 cm in length. However, the proper treatment has been done and there are no problems with use.
