Ramirez 1a Flamenco Guitar

A flamco guitar is a guitar similar to a classical guitar, but with thinner tops and less internal bracing. It usually has nylon strings, like the classical guitar, but it gerally possesses a livelier, more gritty sound compared to the classical guitar.

Traditionally, luthiers made guitars to sell at a wide range of prices, largely based on the materials used and the number of decorations, to cater to the popularity of the instrumt across all classes of people in Spain.

The cheapest guitars were oft simple, basic instrumts made from the less expsive woods such as cypress. Antonio de Torres, one of the most rowned luthiers, did not differtiate betwe flamco and classical guitars. Only after Andrés Avelar and others popularized classical guitar music, did this distinction emerge.

El Flamenco Vive

The traditional flamco guitar is made of Spanish cypress, sycamore, or rosewood for the back and sides, and spruce for the top. This (in the case of cypress and sycamore) accounts for its characteristic body color. Flamco guitars are built lighter with thinner tops than classical guitars, which produces a brighter and more percussive sound quality. Builders also use less internal bracing to keep the top more percussively resonant. The top is typically made of either spruce or cedar, though other tone woods are used today. Volume has traditionally be very important for flamco guitarists, as they must be heard over the sound of the dancers’ nailed shoes. To increase volume, harder woods, such as rosewood, can be used for the back and sides, with softer woods for the top.

In contrast to the classical guitar, the flamco is oft equipped with a tap plate (a golpeador), commonly made of plastic, similar to a pickguard, whose function is to protect the body of the guitar from the rhythmic finger taps, or golpes.

Originally, all guitars were made with wood tuning pegs that pass straight through the headstock, similar to those found on a lute, a violin or oud, as opposed to the modern classical-style guitars' geared tuning mechanisms.

Flamco negra guitars are called negra after the darkness of the harder woods used in their construction, similar materials to those of high-d classical guitars, such as rosewood or other dse tone woods. The harder materials increase volume and tonal range. A typical cypress flamco guitar produces more treble and louder percussion than the more sonorous negra. These guitars strive to capture some of the sustain achieved by concert caliber classical guitars while retaining the volume and attack associated with flamco.

Classical guitars are gerally made with spruce or cedar tops and rosewood or mahogany backs and sides to hance sustain. Flamco guitars are gerally made with spruce tops and cypress or sycamore for the backs and sides to hance volume and emphasize the attack of the note. Nevertheless, other types of wood may be used for the back and sides, like rosewood, maple, koa, satinwood and caviuna.

A well-made flamco guitar responds quickly and typically has less sustain than a classical. This is desirable since the flurry of notes that a good flamco player can produce might sound muddy on a guitar with a big, lush, sustaining sound. The flamco guitars' sound is oft described as percussive; it tds to be brighter, drier and more austere than a classical guitar. Some jazz and Latin guitarists like this punchy tonality, and some players have ev discovered that these guitars’ wide-ranging sound also works well for the contrapuntal voicings of Raissance and Baroque music.

Flamco is played somewhat differtly from classical guitar. Players use differt posture, strumming patterns, and techniques. Flamco guitarists are known as tocaores (from an Andalusian pronunciation of tocadores, players) and the flamco guitar technique is known as toque.

Flamco players td to play the guitar betwe the sound hole and the bridge, but as close as possible to the bridge, to produce a harsher, rasping sound quality. Unlike classical tirando, where the strings are pulled parallel to the soundboard, in flamco apoyando strings are struck towards the soundboard in such way that the striking finger is caught and supported by the next string, hce the name apoyando (from Spanish apoyar meaning to support). At times, this style of playing causes the vibrating string to gtly touch the frets along its lgth, causing a more percussive sound.

While a classical guitarist supports the guitar on the left leg, and holds it at an incline, flamco guitarists usually cross their legs and support the guitar on whichever leg is on top, placing the neck of the guitar nearly parallel to the floor. The differt position accommodates the differt playing techniques. Many of the tremolo, golpe, and rasgueado techniques are easier and more relaxed if the upper right arm is supported at the elbow by the body of the guitar rather than by the forearm as in classical guitar. Nonetheless, some flamco guitarists use classical position.

Flamco is commonly played using a cejilla (capo) which raises the pitch and causes the guitar to sound sharper and more percussive. However, the main purpose in using a cejilla is to change the key of the guitar to match the singer's vocal range. Because Flamco is an improvisational musical form that uses common structures and chord sequces, the capo makes it easier for players who have never played together before to do so. Rather than transcribe to another key each time the singer changes, the player can move the capo and use the same chord positions. Flamco uses many highly modified and op chord forms to create a solid drone effect and leave at least one finger free to add melodic notes and movemt. Very little traditional Flamco music is writt, but is mostly passed on hand to hand. Books, however, are becoming more available.

Flamco guitar employs a vast array of percussive and rhythmic techniques that give the music its characteristic feel. Oft, eighth note triplets are mixed with sixteth note runs in a single bar. Ev swung notes are commonly mixed with straight notes, and golpes are employed with the compas of differt types of rhythms (i.e. bulerias, soleas, etc.) as is strumming with the strings damped for long passages or single notes.As a cabinetmaker's grandson, being a child, Antonio Torres Dorado loves visiting his grandfather's workshop, the smell of woods, the tools… His life was shaped by his grandfather's craft, spending countless days at the si of his grandfather at an early age to learn working with woods. When Antonio cis to make his first guitar for his son, he becomes fascinated by his love for guitar construction and continues to build flamenco guitars. During these years, Antonio has the honor to meet some great luthiers such as Javier Casta&ntil;o, luthier of Con Atocha and José Salinas from whom he learned a lot and gained much inspiration. The work of Antonio Torres is completely based on the qualities of the old Madrid guitar making style. In the construction of his instruments, Antonio aims for a clean and clear sound, comfort in both hands and lightness. Driven by his building expertise, Antonio only uses first gra solid tonewoods, meticulously selected after a natural drying of at least 15 years and a top notch finish which he applies completely himself.
