Loriente "Carmen Negra" SP/IN

The Loriente "Carmen Negra" is a new Spanish-made flamenco negra with a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides – the rosewood version of the Carmen.

The Carmen in Rosewood: A Flamenco Negra

This is the "negra" version of the Carmen, with Indian rosewood for the back and sides in place of the traditional cypress.

Attack, Bite and Gypsy Flair

Like its cypress sister, the Carmen Negra is an aggressive flamenco with quick attack and bite, carrying the gypsy flair of the great flamencos of Barbero and Santos. With its easy, low action and very punchy sound, it suits accompanists and solo performers alike.

Loriente: Old-Style Spanish Concert Guitars

Loriente began some twenty years ago as a project between GSI and German master luthier Edmund Blöchinger. The idea was to offer a high-quality, old-style Spanish concert guitar at a low price.

Inspired by Torres, Santos and Esteso

Loriente guitars are made in Spain and take their inspiration from Antonio de Torres and from the makers who came out of the Manuel Ramírez workshop in Madrid – above all Santos Hernández and Domingo Esteso.
