Marchione Flamenco

For my Flamenco guitars I use my original design based on historic models that I feel are successful, utilizing standard dimensions that musicians are comfortable with and know intuitively. After all, the musician is the one who creates their art with the guitar that I make. I want your experience to be as seamless and expressive as possible and feel as if the guitar is part of you. For me, this is a powerful and seductive musical instrument that inspires creativity and a desire to sing with the guitar.

My study of the great Spanish instruments has given me tremendous respect and admiration for the Domingo Esteso/ Conde' Hermanos lineage as well as the Miguel Rodriquez family. I've owned one Esteso and two Conde's, and I've learned a great deal from them. My Flamenco guitar combines the ease of playability, tone and ergonomics of a Conde's with gorgeous craftsmanship, powerful projection and beauty of the Rodriguez guitars of the 1970s.

Whether you're accompanying dancers at a Juerga, playing solo in concert or just jamming with friends, my Flamenco guitars give you a rich and broad palette to draw from.

As with all of my guitars, I only use Hot Hide Glue in construction and I Hand Plane all surfaces prior to glue-up.
