cosimojack -> 1940's Barbero - Who makes one? (Oct. 13 2010 21:42:14)
Any suggestions for a luthier who can build me a guitar like this? Love the old world sound, delicate voice, and all around amazing tone of this instrument... but all I see - are '51 (more classical sounding) inspired Barbero's, nothing from the 40's... Is it because Barbero's were very similiar to Santos until his redesign in '51? Thanks, CJ

I'll tell you, this may be weird, but my 1964 Conde Hermanos sounds EXACTLY like that. The Conde is extremely light, maybe 2 lbs., and has a very distinct, delicate sound. It is a small instrument. Almost a 'compressed' sound with quite a low end. Not a profound midrange like my '99 Conde which has the usual 'Conde sound. I know this does not help, but I thought that I would offer this unusual insight. -----Steve Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Thanks, this is the sort of response I was hoping for since buying a 1940's Barbero is not realistic... Looking for options to get this sort of sound - I already own a Salvador Castillo '07, which is quite good and I have heard sounds like a Conde... but I am assuming it's more in-line with your '99 as it sounds nothing like this Barbero. Did not even consider an older Conde... from your description, it sounds exactly like what I am seeking... thanks again! I'd also would love to hear more people weigh in on this... Was sort of thinking a 50's Ramirez might be the way to go?? BTW - I have 3 Moro cd's with him playing this Barbero... the sound quality is much better... a very impressive guitar + solid playing too....
