Mariano Conde (b. 1959) is one of the sons of Mariano Conde (1916-1995) (one of the three Conde Hermanos) who were trained by their Uncle Domingo Esteso (1882-1937), one of the world-class luthiers to come out of the Manuel Ramirez (1864-1916) workshop. The Conde family knows how to build flamenco guitars, so they remain the choice of many professional flamenco guitarists.
