Hermanos Conde - Conde Hermanos

I am selling a Hermanos conde A26 for a friend of mine.
I noticed that after the year 2001 the name Hermanos Conde changed in Conde Hermanos.
Just out of curiosity....does anybody knows the reason for this?

They also added the "registered trademark" on that. Means to me don't buy guitars with "conde hermanos" text on it. Only "hermanos conde"

Best would be to email estebanana about this, he loves conde and talking about their history.

Just kidding. I noticed in 2003 the label change. There was no special reason I know of, they just changed it. Their dad/uncle changed the label several times too in the 1970's. I have a 1973 that says "sobrinos de esteso" and they signed it conde hermanos, but some guitars before this had the "hermanos conde" label already. It doesn't mean anything about quality of the instrument. I played some good and bad guitars with that style label. The felipe conde guitars built now I have played are in the same calibur sound and feel as the 1990 era guitars I also own.

I like the rosette of the 2005 example.
Looks so Inka.

... Guess if I had sketched one that same way and uploaded it, folks might have niggled that it would not be looking flamenco.

Justt sayin´.

Same design on my 73 sobrinos....but sadly they put finish over top so the green doesn't come out so nice. Never understood that practice to be honest, the only bad cosmetic detail of the orginal Conde guys. I noticed an Arcangel guitar with the same deal, it's ugly IMO.

Thanks for the info guys!

I like the zig-zag rosette a lot too.
But the later rozet with the " crenelated " round. ( like a casle ) in my taste it is the ugliest rozet i ever seen.....
