Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s Flamenco Guitar - A rare masterpiece from the golden age of Spanish guitar making with soul, history and exceptional sound

There are guitars that simply sound good - and there are those few that breathe history. The Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar undoubtedly belongs to this rare category. It is more than just an instrument - it is a living testimony to one of the most important eras of Spanish guitar making.

Built in the early 1940s, the Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940s flamenco guitar dates from a unique transitional phase. After the death of the legendary Domingo Esteso, his nephews Faustino, Mariano and Julio Conde continued to run the workshop under the name ’Viuda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso„ - with the clear aim of preserving their master's construction methods. During these years, instruments were created that were still deeply rooted in Esteso's tradition and at the same time laid the foundations for the later world-famous Conde sound.

This Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar is a particularly rare example from this period. While most flamenco guitars at the time were made with cypress, this instrument has rosewood back and sides - an exceptional choice that adds depth and complexity to the sound. The finely crafted spruce top complements this construction perfectly and ensures a quick response and clear articulation.

The sound of the Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar is simply impressive. It is powerful, rich and characterized by a dark elegance. The trebles are dense, present and assertive, while the basses are loose, voluminous and carrying. At the same time, the guitar has a strong personality - it doesn't just sound, it tells a story. Every note comes across as lively, mature and full of expression.

This Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar has been carefully restored true to the original and is now in very good condition. The neck is straight, the string action (2.7 mm E and 2.2 mm e at the 12th fret) is excellently adjusted and the guitar can be played effortlessly. New tuners ensure reliable tuning stability without compromising the character of the instrument.

With a scale length of 660 mm and a nut width of 51 mm, the Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar offers a classic flamenco feel that is ideal for both powerful techniques and the finest nuances.

The provenance of this Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar is particularly noteworthy: it comes from the collection of Nikos Tsiachris and was played by him for many years at gigs and in the studio - a detail that further emphasizes its authenticity and collector's value.

The Viuda Y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1940’s flamenco guitar is a rare opportunity to own an instrument from the direct succession of one of the greatest Spanish guitar makers.
