Vicente Carrillo Bandurria Dulcinea Arce

Vicente Carrillo is a renowned Spanish luthier with a family tradition of more than 270 years in the artisanal construction of string instruments, especially bandurrias, classical guitars and lutes. His workshop, located in Casasimarro, combines traditional techniques with innovations in acoustics and ergonomics, maintaining a rigorous commitment to quality and authenticity. Each instrument reflects the mastery of a luthier who seeks to preserve the sonorous essence of Spanish music through meticulous and passionate work.

The Bandurria DULCINEA ARCE is built with a German spruce top, back and sides in selected curly maple, a wood that provides resistance and a noble aesthetic thanks to its characteristic grain. The neck, made of Brazilian cedar, offers stability and comfort to the player, while the ebony fingerboard guarantees durability and exquisite tactile response. The instrument receives a high-quality varnish that protects the wood without compromising the natural vibration, preserving the artisanal acoustics that distinguishes each piece. All materials are carefully selected to ensure a balance between robustness, beauty and sound quality.

This bandurria exhibits a warm and balanced timbre, with a clear resonance rich in harmonics that fills any space with a homogeneous and natural projection. Its immediate response allows for fluid and expressive playing, while the subtle sustain adds depth without losing transparency. The sound texture combines power and sweetness, enveloping the musician in an immersive and emotional acoustic experience. Ideal for performers who value both technical precision and tonal richness, offering a sound that conveys intensity and soul in every note.
