1963 Manuel de la Chica SP/CY

Like Santos and Barbero, Manuel de la Chica was at home building both classical and flamenco instruments, indeed his finer instruments have the flexibility of being played by either style. This is such an instrument, and it has a lyrical, singing quality to it yet at the same time can bite if pushed. It is very light in weight, and has piercing volume. Playability is a breeze, as is the norm for this maker. This is an exceptional instrument in every regard.
