In 1915,with
the opening of his workshop, the luthier DOMINGO ESTESO created
a new form of conceiving the handmade construction of the Spanish Guitar.
Some years later, a young JULIO CONDE, master´s
nephew, began to work with his brothers Faustino and Mariano, in their
uncle´s workshop, learning and developing his special and elaborated
handmade manufacturing technique.
When Domingo passed away, and after
working for his widow, they took over the workshop, called since then CONDE
HERMANOS SOBRINOS DE DOMINGO ESTESO. |

Over the years,
and due to the boom that the guitar acquired, at the beginning of the
50s they created a new elaboration and attention customers centre in ATOCHA
53. street, managed for JULIO, who in a few years became reference
point mainly for professional(Niño Ricardo, Sabicas, Melchor de
Marchena, Paco de Lucia, etc.), as well as for amateur people in the guitar
world, both flamenco or classic.
After the death of his brothers
Faustino y Mariano in the years 1988 and 1989, JULIO, the only nephew
successor continued enlarging even more the figure of the high quality handmade
guitar inside and outside our frontiers. |
| At the present time, and from Julio´s death, their sons, in the same centre, continue the tradition CONDE HERMANOS, where the careful selection of materials and the quality of the final sound are maintained and continue as a high-priority goal. | |
