[New] Castanet mod. Bolero (Color: Black, Size: No. 6)

Castanets are musical instruments!

At Castañuelas Filigrana, we continue our tradition, says Lucía Álvarez Vera, granddaughter of master castanet craftsman Manuel Vera Martínez, known as Filigrana, and now the third generation to carry on the legacy.

He invented fiber for castanets. From then on, they began to be called 'Filigrana' (meaning delicate filigree work). The castanets he created are known as 'Filigrana castanets,' so we decided to brand that name on the inside of the castanets. The 'Filigrana' trademark was registered in 1967, but the name had already been in use for many years.

Incorporating fiber into castanet manufacturing resulted in a stronger striking sound and increased durability, bringing a major revolution to the history of castanets up to that point. He also invented a special technique for hollowing out the castanets, making them easier to play (known as a special resonance box). Furthermore, he researched the origins of castanets for 40 years.

The Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions of Seville features a section called Old Filigrana Workshop. On its walls hang photographs of top stars in the world of flamenco, including La Chunga, Carlitos Fernández Villarín, Luisillo, Juanita Reina, Caracolillo, Manuel Vargas, Merche Esmeralda, Pilar López, Lola Flores, Mariemma, Jitanillo de Bronce, and Rafael El Negro.
