Authentic Flamenco Sound

This guitar represents the traditional Flamenco sound, from Granada, Spain. Only with white guitars, made of Spruce or similar,  and handcrafted in this manner, can a guitarist achieve the desired attack, extreme dynamics and projection required for Flamenco interpretation.

Tradition

The Ferrer guitar makers have been around since 1875.  In the late 70s,  their expertise was sought after by Yamaha Guitars . Eduardo Ferrer was hired and invited to Japan; during three years he taught Yamaha artisans  how to make and improve their handcrafted line of classical guitars.

Timbre

This unique guitar projects extremely well in the mid frequencies; around 500 hz. All high end notes have brilliant sounding overtones; adding thickness to the overall sound. The low frequency is reinforced by the natural overtones emanating by resonance, throughout the guitar.

First prize winner

Hand picked from the finest selection of Flamenco Artisan Guitars.

Casa Luthiers in Barcelona stocks the finest selection of Artisan Concert Flamenco guitars for sale you can find in Spain: Paulino Bernabé, Ana Espinosa, Felipe Conde , Hermanos Conde, Mariano Conde, Juan Fabian, Santiago de Cecilia, Vicente Carillo and Eduardo Durán

Juan, the manager, only accepts those guitars he believes sound right no matter how reputed the constructor is. So when I go into his shop I know I have the best to chose from.

Selected by spectrum, projection, dynamic range , balance , harmonic and melodic clarity. 

Once in his shop, I sat down for a few days and tried out all the artisan guitars without asking brand or price. I made selections based upon which offered a richer tone, more projection, a larger dynamic range, a balance in all registers and clarity in perception of what I played. I tried all the guitars listed above and chose the Eduardo Duran

In depth selection.
Once I had selected the guitar, I called its creator, Eduardo,  and asked him to audition all his similar models. This took me from Barcelona to Madrid and through 4 stores . I just love picking good guitars. I chooses this one, on sale,  as its qualities were superior to the other: same model, same Luthier.

Diversity

This guitar blends well in all styles of music; from classical, jazz, folk and flamenco. It works extremely well in rhythmic passages and can projects with extreme sweetness in high registers.

Personally, when I play this guitar,  I enjoy been able to portray more emotions; the instrument seems to come to life with each new passage.  You will enjoy the variety of timbres, the dynamics , the attack and the authentic Flamenco sound.

In the video I compare this model of Eduardo Durán with a Hermanos Conde handcrafted  model I bought back in 2006, in Madrid, at the original Conde store, located on Calle Gravina 7.

Ramirez Guitars 1962

Ramirez Guitars 1962

As mentioned in previous posts, this month of September I am recording my new album in the Spanish pyrenees and Barcelona. These mountains, their people and culture have been very inspiring for all my guitar compositions. I am also very pleased to be recording with my Flamenco Guitar, Ramirez Guitars1962. A hand made guitar from the Ramirez family.

Ramirez built these 1962 guitars to work with low tension nylon strings. Gut strings replaced nylon strings  in that era.

 Equal temperament tuning.

What I find so curious about this guitar is the way it tunes. Guitars do not follow natural tuning. They are modified to be able to create equal temperament tuning. Contemporary luthiers construct guitars with mathematical machine precision. Even though they do not sound so well, they sometimes tune better. The same note in different octaves is proportional in it´s wave length

However, in older guitars, the luthier would fine tune the fret layout by ear. The luthier would lay down the frets in a manner where octaves were in tune in the same position of the neck. A chord in a high position would be in tune in relation to all its notes, but not to other chords in a lower register.

The resulting sound is spectacular and extremely natural.  The Ramirez guitars built in 1962 were amongst the most desired of the era. They were sought after by flamenco and classical guitarists as: Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, Narciso Yepes, amongst others.
