FAQ About The Role of Flamenco Guitar in Spanish Cultural Expression

What materials are typically used in the construction of a Flamenco guitar?
Flamenco guitars are traditionally constructed using lighter woods such as Spanish cypress for the body and spruce for the top, which helps produce a bright, percussive tone that complements the rhythm of Flamenco music. The fretboard is usually made from ebony, and the lighter construction offers better resonance for the fast, dynamic playing style typical in Flamenco.
