This concert flamenco “blanca” just arrived from the workshop of Eduardo Duran from the renown Granada Ferrer dynasty.

It is personally selected by professional flamenco player Thomas Lorenzo.

As you can hear from the recordings it is loud and incisive and the pieces illustrate it’s flamenco attack strong dynamics and balance across the strings. Particularly strong and present in the midrange making very versatile across musical genres for live performance.

Here is Thomas showcasing his Eduardo Ferrer Duran and why he liked it so much for live performance. https://www.thomaslorenzo.com.au/flamenco-concert-guitar-eduardo-duran-ferrer/

Features:

 I have known Thomas over many years and he plays across genres Classical, flamenco, world music, jazz and across differnt guitar electric, steel flamenco but always Conde Hermanos. He recently left Australia to return to Spain and left me this, guitar his pride and joy and constant companion to sell.

So I asked him what drew him to the Eduard Ferrer after so many Condes. This is what he said:

“This guitar has become my favorite for live performances due to its outstanding dynamic range, surpassing even my Conde guitars. Its midrange projection ensures that the audience can enjoy my performance with clarity, as it doesn't get overpowered by other band members.

Until 2017, I stuck with my Conde guitars for live shows. However, I faced issues when playing eclectic styles or with instruments like bass; they tended to overpower, requiring excessive amplification.

To address this, I visited Spain, reconnecting with my family and consulting various luthiers. I reached out to Eduardo Duran for a solution, desiring a guitar suitable not only for flamenco but also for the jazz style I play. Eduardo had two guitars designed specifically for volume and midrange projection. This design allows for a distinct flamenco guitar attack at all volumes, avoiding the muffled effect experienced with the Conde when playing loudly.

My trip to Madrid left me amazed at what Eduardo had achieved. The guitar produces incredible sounds, playing sweetly and delivering a powerful punch that complements bass and percussion effortlessly.

Having just relocated to Spain, I reluctantly decided to part with this exceptional guitar due to increasing travel costs. As I gear up for more solo gigs in the coming years, I must choose which guitar to bring back to Spain.

For the prospective owner who values a unique sound and style, this Eduardo Duran guitar is a perfect fit for live performances. I wish you countless hours of joy with this truly special instrument”.
