[Profile]
Domingo Esteso was born in San Clemente, Cuenca, Spain in 1882, and after moving to
Madrid in 1900, he entered the workshop of Manuel Ramirez. He became a master
craftsman alongside his colleague Santos Hernandez, and worked in his master's
workshop until Manuel Ramirez's death in 1916. In 1919, he became independent and
opened his own workshop at 7 Gravina. After Domingo's death in 1937, the Conde brothers
took over the workshop under the label 'Viuda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso'. This later
developed into the famous flamenco guitar brand Conde Hermanos. Because flamenco
was flourishing at the time Domingo became independent, many of the guitars he produced
were made of cypress wood. Domingo's work was profound, dense, and uniquely
expressive, and it continues to attract many guitarists today, not only flamenco guitarists.
He is one of the greatest guitar makers of the first half of the 20th century.
[Description]
Domingo Esteso 1921 classic model with spruce sound board and cypress back and sides.
The golpe board has been removed, but it was probably made as a classic model. The
essence of this brand can be felt in this model, and it is full of deep charm. Above all, the
sound is wonderful, with a pure sound with no impurities between the touch of the right
hand and the sound, and every note is refined, delicate, versatile, and classically elegant.
The cypress's unique, raw vibration and yet lustrous sound is the unique achievement of
Esteso. The balance from the richness of the bass to the delicate treble is also natural. In
terms of classical expression, this is the ultimate in Manuel Ramirez-like elements.
The sound board and back have been cracked and repaired. There is a hole drilled in the
head for display (probably when it was first made), and the sound board shows signs of
having had the golpe board removed in the past, but this is not a problem as it has been
painted over well.
