[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]
Conde Hermanos Felipe Workshop Product Estudio Model (EF-4) made in 1999 is now in stock. 2 models, EF-4 and EF-5, were the main models for beginners, and EF-4 has a 3-piece backboard. The EF-4 is a model made of spruce and cypress, and was very popular as an easy introductory model, yet still able to fully enjoy the sound of a representative Spanish flamenco brand.

The hard, firm and resilient sound is typical of the brand, and the volume, power and separation are sufficient for a flamenco guitar. The tuning machine has been replaced with a Gotoh 35G1600 series. The overall coloring is dark orange. The only workshop under the Conde Hermanos name is now only in Atocha, so this piece remains a popular standard model.
