Who was Domingo Esteso?

Domingo Esteso was a luthier who trained under Manuel Ramírez. His nephews, Faustino and Mariano Conde inherited his workshop and changed the name to Conde Hermanos. Nowadays, the family tradition established by Domingo Esteso is being continued by Felipe Conde at his workshop on 4 Arrieta St. in central Madrid, and Mariano Conde at his workshop on 1 Amnistia St. in central Madrid next to metro.

Esteso concentrated almost exclusively on building flamenco-style guitars, and his instruments are world-renowned for their physical lightness, yet very strong volume and sound-projection. A crack-free and unmolested example can cost several tens of thousands, either Euros or $. Most remaining Estesos however have been somewhat, up to extensively, repaired; due to the age and fragility of the instruments and the firm, often percussive playing-style associated with flamenco.
