The Flamenco Guitar

The Flamenco guitar build and construction are based on the style of the Spanish classical guitar, but with slight modifications that suit the requirements of the Flamenco player.

The body is usually slightly smaller than the classical design, its back and rib structure are made from Spanish Cyprus crafted very thinly to produce a wide and more brilliant tone,

This in turn produces a more penetrating  sound and gives the instrument  greater volume.

There is also a perceived  reduction in mellowness and tone , which explains why some solo flamenco guitarists  prefer to play classical guitars…….Happy Playing..from all at Essaness Music.
