After Manuel Ramirez died, he opened his own shop where he was joined by his 13 year old nephew, Faustino Conde in 1926. After his death in 1937, Domingo's widow (Vda) took over the shop, and Faustino and his brothers, Mariano and Julio continued to work for their aunt building under the label Vda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso. With her death in the 1960s, when they began using their own label Hermanos Conde, sobrinos (nephews) of Domingo Esteso. This guitar made by the Conde Hermanos in their Atocha Shop in 1964.
