The Hermanos Sanchis Lopez  are now making a Barbero model  based on the flamenco guitars of Marcelo Barbero for us exclusively. Marcelo Barbero (1904-1956) was trained by José Ramirez II. When Santos Hernandez died in 1943,  his widow asked Marcelo to complete some guitars that Santos left unfinished. Although Santos had been very secretive, Barbero was equally astute-- and the flamenco guitars he built after this are magical. The Hermanos Sanchis Lopez are fine luthiers in their own right, and this guitar offers both a true flamenco duende and great playability.
