In cooperation with a Spanish luthier the artists of TIERRA NEGRA - Raughi Ebert and Leo Henrichs - have designed a flamenco guitar - the TIERRA NEGRA guitar - that defines a new standard of quality in the modern world of professional flamenco guitars. Their experiences as professional musicians from many years touring and studio works melt together with the big knowledge of many generations being involved in the Spanish art of lutherie.

The TIERRA NEGRA guitar is a high quality instrument equally appropriate for live perfor-
mances or studio sessions. The fully handcrafted guitar is made from hand selected solid wood. The instrument is extremely comfortable to play and satisfies the high requirements of profes-
sional musicians. Sound wise the guitar is ideally suited for flamenco and even jazz and pop music. It has a delicate warm and light sound with rich basses and clear trebles.

The GIPSY KINGS liked the TIERRA NEGRA guitar so much, that they immediately signed a world wide exclusive endorsement contract with the TIERRA NEGRA company. "The TIERRA NEGRA flamenco guitar is the best instrument that we have ever got the chance to work with", says GIPSY KINGS lead guitarist TONINO BALIARDO proudly. "I love the sound and it is a pleasure to play on such a comfortable instrument!"

But also among more traditional flamenco players as ANTONIO ANDRADE, the TIERRA NEGRA guitar is highly recommended for the use as a solo instrument or for dance accompaniment. "I use the same TIERRA NEGRA guitar doing my solo performances and working with my dance company. The variety of the sounds that you can create on this instrument is amazing", says ANTONIO ANDRADE enthusiastically.

Each instrument is numbered and signed by TIERRA NEGRA on the lable. Each guitar is unique and comes with a luxury case.
