Comments:
This was the first Fleta owned and played by Ernesto Bitetti. With the sale is a vinyl recording of his performance of the Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez with this specific guitar.
The Fletas of the 1960's are amongst the most sought-after. The have a noble character with plenty of volume and harmonic bloom to the notes. A very interesting instrument.Ignacio Fleta - Click here to find out more about this maker
