A Collaboration Designed for Today's Flamenco Guitarists
The 5 FP OP Piñana was born from the collaboration between flamenco guitarist Carlos Piñana and Alhambra Guitars. The idea is clear: to offer a modern flamenca with a particularly attractive value for money, featuring wood choices and design that broaden the sonic spectrum. The result is an elegant "negra" flamenco guitar, innovative in some details, yet deeply rooted in flamenco playing tradition.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive flamenca, capable of executing compás, rasgueados, and picados with precision, while remaining musical in arpeggios. Its "negra" nature and cedar top also make it suitable for exploring broader registers: contemporary flamenco, accompaniment, and bridges to more "classical" colors without losing flamenco edge.
Sound
The combination of solid red cedar (top) and Indian rosewood (back/sides) provides a very interesting balance for a flamenca. Cedar generally brings a sense of warmth and a full response, while rosewood adds depth and a wider projection, with bass more present than in a cypress flamenca. Alhambra compensates for the less "dry" character expected by some purists through a carefully designed bracing to maintain flamenco identity: clear attack, good responsiveness, and a round tone that facilitates interpretation of various styles. The open pore finish, lighter in varnish, promotes resonance and a livelier feel under the fingers.
