Gerundino Fernandez Hijo - 2021 Flamenca Blanca 66 cm
About the luthier
Gerundino Fernández Llamas, born in Almería in 1974, is the son of the renowned flamenco guitar maker Gerundino Fernández. From an early age, he assisted his father with various tasks in the workshop, developing a deep familiarity with materials and techniques. His expertise in selecting, cutting, and preparing tonewoods, many of which were used by his father, formed a solid foundation for his later work. After years dedicated to studying the instrument and reviewing his father’s professional legacy, he decided in 2015 to continue the family tradition. Building guitars professionally since then, Gerundino Fernández Llamas works with inherited tools, woods, and methods, maintaining the aesthetic and acoustic ideals of the Fernández lineage.
His father, Gerundino Fernández, was widely considered one of the most important Spanish flamenco guitar makers of the twentieth century. His instruments received numerous awards, including First Prize at the International Guitar Makers Festival in Ronda (1978) and Best Acoustics at the UNESCO Competition in Paris (1988). These guitars were played by flamenco greats such as Paco de Lucía, Paco Peña, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo, and Raimundo Amador.
About the guitar
This 2021 Flamenca Blanca, built by Gerundino Fernández Hijo, feautures a spruce soundboard and cypress back and sides. It is traditionally constructed with peg tuners and finished in French polish. The voice is unmistakably flamenco: bright, crisp, and agile, with a fast attack and dry, percussive articulation. What distinguishes this instrument is its unusual lyrical sustain for a flamenco guitar, allowing phrases to unfold with expressive depth. The air resonance is slightly elevated, around G-sharp/A, adding to its responsiveness and tonal openness. The guitar balances immediate projection with elegance, ideal for both solo performance and traditional accompaniment.
Condition
The guitar is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use. For a flamenco instrument, the overall preservation is notably fine.
