This instrument is in very good, original condition with minimal and only superficial playing and handling marks.
The flamenco guitars of Francisco Barba have been the choice of many top level players at least since the 1970's and those of more recent times are still highly-praised.
This one has a loud, quick and aggressive character with a strong first string and capable of a lyrical, melancholia quality in the treble.
There is no doubt that this is a highest level, professional's instrument that displays high level of craftsmanship, is beautifully finished and has the sound and response demanded by the professional player. A truly outstanding flamenco guitar.Francisco Barba - Click here to find out more about this maker
