Hermanos Conde 1968 Faustino Conde Flamenco Guitar - The legendary Madrid flamenco sound of the Paco de Lucía era

There are guitars that accompany flamenco - and there are instruments that have helped to shape it. The Hermanos Conde 1968 Faustino Conde flamenco guitar is undoubtedly one of the most important representatives of this second category.

The Hermanos Conde 1968 Faustino Conde Flamenco Guitar is an authentic master built instrument from the workshop of Faustino Conde, one of the masterminds behind the unmistakable Conde sound. Together with his brothers Julio and Mariano, he developed a new type of guitar from the tradition of Domingo Esteso - with stronger basses, singing trebles and an explosive response that revolutionized flamenco.

Everything changed at the end of the 1960s: Paco de Lucía discovered these instruments for himself and made them famous worldwide. The typical Conde sound can be heard in countless recordings and TV appearances from that time - raw, assertive and at the same time full of musical beauty. The Hermanos Conde 1968 Faustino Conde flamenco guitar has exactly the same character.
