www.laSonanta.eu Manuel Reyes Maldonado of Cordoba was born in Jayena, Granada, on July 18th 1934. He began making guitars in 1949 and had some verbal guidance from Joaquin Sánchez Galisteo of Cordoba and from Marcelo Barbero of Madrid. Manuel Reyes is considered to be the greatest and most sought-after contemporary flamenco builders in the world. He is known for his excellent workmanship and authentic Andalusian flamenco sound. His guitars have been played by dozens of flamenco professionals all over the world, perhaps the most notably being Vicente Amigo. His waitlist for new instruments is now closed due to its enormous size.

This blanca sounds so sweet, beautiful and lyrical, melodically, it sings like a human voice, when played hard it awakens with a intensive bite. As sweet as the tone is, rasguedos still explode as fired by a machine gun. Our artisanos Martín y José confirmed its remarkable and excellent condition with no damage or repairs. This guitar is a true masterpiece, in absolute mint condition, very easy to play, amazing volume, strong flamenco basses and percussive trebles and could easily please the most discriminating player or collector.
