Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra Flamenco Guitar - Spanish flamenco masterpiece for players and collectors

The Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra Flamenco guitar is an exceptional instrument from the workshop of one of the most famous flamenco guitar makers of the 20th century. This rare Negra combines the raw energy of flamenco with a fascinating tonal depth and is one of those instruments that are not just played, but experienced. For discerning musicians and collectors, a Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra flamenco guitar is a true rarity - packed with tradition, expression and unmistakable personality.

Gerundino Fernández (1931-2006) is considered a legend among Spanish luthiers. In his workshop in Almería, only a few guitars were made each year, each one crafted with the utmost care and a dedication that can be felt in every note. The Gerundino Fernandez 1989 Negra Flamenco guitar carries precisely this heritage: an instrument with enormous projection, a characteristic „growling“ timbre and a powerful percussive response. It is no coincidence that artists such as Paco de Lucía, Vicente Amigo, Tomatito and even Eric Clapton have played guitars made by Gerundino.

As a typical Negra, this Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra flamenco guitar is equipped with rosewood back and sides, which gives it additional tonal depth and warmth compared to classic cypress flamenco guitars. The high-quality cedar top also provides the fast, explosive response that flamenco players need. The result is a sound that starts out punchy and dry in the basses, but always remains clear, defined and rhythmically precise.

The Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra flamenco guitar reacts immediately to every touch. Played gently, it develops an intimate, almost whispering quality with the finest dynamic nuances. But with a stronger touch, it transforms into a true force of nature: loud, assertive, brilliant and full of earthy fire. The trebles are bright and singing, the mid-range has a woody warmth, and the balance across all registers is impressively cohesive and three-dimensional.

The playability also meets the high standards of a genuine Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra flamenco guitar. With a scale length of 650 mm, a nut width of 52 mm and a flamenco-typical low string action (2.7 mm E and 2.2 mm e at the 12th fret), it is perfect for fast rasgueados, precise picados and rhythmically complex playing.

This Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra Flamenco guitar is in good condition and shows only normal, age-appropriate traces of use. The guitar has been newly varnished with shellac. It comes with a new guitar case.
The guitar is equipped with the original wooden tuning pegs. On request, we can install very precise fine tuning pegs from Wittner.

If you are looking for an authentic Negra with the rare blend of aggressiveness, musical warmth and dynamic flexibility, the Gerundino Fernandez 1991 Negra Flamenco guitar is a master instrument that combines history, craftsmanship and performance in a unique form.
