Loriente "Carmen" SP/CY

The Loriente "Carmen" is a new Spanish-made flamenco guitar (blanca) with a spruce top and cypress back and sides, built in the old Spanish style.

Loriente Carmen Flamenco Guitar

An aggressive flamenco with quick attack and bite, the Carmen has the gypsy flair of the great Barbero and Santos flamencos. Easy, low action and a very punchy sound make the Carmen the ideal instrument for both accompanist and solo performer.

Heard in "Mirrors" by Vahagni

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.
