[Profile]
Born in Madrid, Spain in 1931. Arcangel Fernandez became friends with Marcelo Barbero I, who was then considered to be the successor to Santos Hernandez, in 1954 and frequently visited Barbero's workshops to learn how to make guitar. Two years later, after Barbello I died at the young age of 52, he took over the workshop, and later, Barbello I's son Marcelo Barbello Hijo joined as a staff member and continued to work together.
The idea of design, selection of materials, and above all, refusal to compromise on timbre has reached an outstanding level. He retired from guitar making in 2011 and is now an increasingly rare brand.
[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Alcángel Fernández 1962 Flamenco Blanca Model No. 180. The Alcánjel is associated with that strong, rigid, and dense sound, but this instrument has an open, dry sound that is reminiscent of Spanish vintage.
This piece has been played a lot, and there are scratches, dents, partially peeled paint, and discoloration throughout. There is a crack on the bottom of the sound board and the back has been repaired. The surface is painted orange, which is unusual for this brand. The neck is thin and easy to grip, which is unusual for this brand.
