Usage for Music
Bruno is a mature male vocal type and the male counterpart to Clara. As the first Vocaloids capable of Spanish, they have been reported to be overall quite understandable by Spanish fans. However, as expected from any new stage of developement of the Vocaloid software, the pair still have room for improvements.

Reception
Bruno has had a backlash based on his illustration, mainly for lacking an anime-like design or referred to as not having the appearance of a Vocaloid, with some going so far as to label him and Clara as "ugly". However, within the Spanish fandom there have been reports of strong defence from fans of the pair and Vocaloid, who have noted just as Japanese Vocaloids represent their culture and English Vocaloids the English culture, likewise Bruno and Clara represent the Spanish culture. In extreme cases, Giuseppe (who is behind their creation) was reported to have recieved death threats aimed at their artist. The outcry mostly is coming from the fans who are used to anime styled Vocaloids, although has been more extreme then previously seen before with non-Japanese Vocaloids.

The voice type itself, however, has been noted to be appealing in general despite the issues some fans have had for the boxart.

Trivia

 * When he first demos of Bruno were shown, an interesting reaction from English Vocaloid fans was noted that they often did not think Bruno had much clarity. However, as pointed out, as Spanish is a language that also had come from a latin based origins like English, English speakers hear many familairities to their own language but they do not understand what they are listening to. This makes it difficult for English speakers who have little knowledge on Spanish phonetics to judge Spanish based Vocaloids. Spanish speakers confirmed that he had relatively good clarity
