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 Negra (AF25R), made in 1995, is now in stock. After Faustino and Mariano, the key figures of Conde's first generation, passed away one after another, Mariano's sons, Felipe I and Mariano II, took over the workshop, and this piece was made during a very short period of collaboration considering the subsequent history of the brand.
This piece adopts an orthodox construction, which is rare for high-end Condé models. However, by adopting the traditional style, a hard and rigid sound typical of Conde and rich expressiveness coexist, and the appeal of this piece is that it has a different sound from the stoic acoustics of the brand's later models.
The sound board has a few scratches and dents from playing around the sound hole and other areas, but as a flamenco guitar, it is in good condition for its age.
