[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]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of model AF25R 1998 by Conde Hermanos Felipe Workshop. This model is a typical Flamenco Negra (black) model. The head shape of Media Luna, which is said to be based on the bullfighting motif that has become the trademark of this brand, and the sound board painted in orange, which looks great on stage, have a strong impact in terms of the appearance of the instrument.
Even today, when the brothers are developing their own lineups as independent workshops, this is a timeless model that the brand continues to follow.
Conde is known for its rigid sound and acoustics, especially since the 1990s, but the feel of this instrument is surprisingly soft, full, rich, and delicate. However, there is a strong flamenco resonance, and even though the sound is soft, it has the resilience of a Conde, and the charm of a Negra is fully felt.
There is a history of crack repair on the treble side of the fingerboard (reinforced from the inside). The guitar is in good condition for a flamenco guitar that is 25 years old.
