Authentic Flamenco Sound

The flamenco concert guitar by Eduardo Duran Ferrer embodies the quintessential Flamenco sound of Granada, Spain. Crafted exclusively from white woods like Spruce, using meticulous handcrafting techniques, this guitar enables the guitarist to attain the desired attack, extreme dynamics, and projection essential for Flamenco interpretation.

Tradition

The Ferrer guitar-making legacy traces its roots back to 1875. In the late ’70s, their unparalleled expertise garnered attention from Yamaha Guitars. Eduardo Ferrer was subsequently recruited and invited to Japan. Over a span of three years, he shared his knowledge, instructing Yamaha artisans on the intricacies of crafting and enhancing their handcrafted line of classical guitars.

Timbre

The Flamenco concert guitar by Eduardo Duran Ferrer excels in projecting rich tones, particularly in the mid frequencies around 500 Hz. High-end notes resonate with brilliant overtones, enhancing the overall sound with added thickness. The low frequencies gain strength through the natural overtones generated by resonance, permeating the entirety of the guitar.

First Prize Winner

Carefully selected from the most exceptional array of Flamenco Artisan Guitars.

Casa Luthiers in Barcelona boasts the finest collection of Artisan Concert Flamenco guitars available in Spain, featuring renowned makers such as Paulino Bernabé, Ana Espinosa, Felipe Conde, Hermanos Conde, Mariano Conde, Juan Fabian, Santiago de Cecilia, Vicente Carillo, and Eduardo Durán.

Juan, the manager, meticulously curates only those guitars he believes possess the ideal tonal qualities, irrespective of the builder’s reputation. Thus, when I enter his shop, I am confident I am choosing from the best.

During my visit, I spent several days in the shop, auditioning a myriad of artisan guitars without considering brand or price. My selections were guided by richer tones, increased projection, a broader dynamic range, balance across all registers, and clarity in the interpretation of my playing. After trying all the guitars listed above, I ultimately chose the Eduardo Duran.

After choosing the guitar, I contacted its creator, Eduardo, and requested an audition of all his similar models. This journey took me from Barcelona to Madrid, exploring four different stores. My passion for selecting exceptional guitars led me to choose this particular one, now on sale, as its qualities surpassed others: same model, same Luthier.

This guitar seamlessly blends into various music styles, including classical, jazz, folk, and flamenco. It excels in rhythmic passages and projects extreme sweetness in high registers.
