Francisco Barba - 2012

Francisco Barba - 2012

Overview

Francisco Barba was born in Sevilla in 1939. In the early 1960s he started working as a carpenter with his father. After that time, he decided to become a luthier.
He builds flamenco guitars that have an extraordinary, amazing tone with beautiful basses and singing trebles. Today he is considered as one of the best living flamenco guitar builders.
The playability of this 2012 Barba guitar is a dream and the sound is characterized by strong and deep basses and lyrical trebles. Only the best woods were used for this guitar – spruce for the top and cypress for back and sides. It is all French-polished. A Hiscox Pro II case is included.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
