This is a lovely old Flamenco, a real player's guitar from a historic luthier.
Condition-wise there is a parallel repaired crack in the side which runs along the right hand lower bout region. In other respects the condition is good: playing wear to the top and small marks to the body but no repairs or damage. There is wear to the frets under the bass strings in the lower position, but the guitar is still in completely playable condition.
The sound retains its very 'flamenco' character: lively and bright with a quick response. In addition it has very good balance and acquired a warm variety of colouring to the tone, typical of a mature good-quality flamenco.
