Cordoba Luthier C9-CED Classical Nylon Guitar

Product Information

Now, we can tell you that both the C9 and the C10 guitars would serve in the same situations as they are both concert-ready guitars. With the introduction of the C10 Parlor, Cordoba decided to rename the model previously titled “C9 Dolce” to “C9 Parlor.” We felt the word “Parlor” was a better, more universal descriptor of a small body instrument. No features of the guitar were changed aside from the name.

While you wait for your turn to reach that super expensive concert guitar, the C9 will fill in the intervening years for many an intermediate player. Given half a chance and given its popularity, any rising guitarist won’t be able to strike it off their final shortlist easily. A deeper look at the Cordoba C9 Finally, there’s the C10 acoustic-electric guitar that is currently unavailable but is still worthy of mention. The problem with this guitar is that it seems to have a loose brace, which makes a buzz noise coming from the bridge and the top around the bridge. You can hear it when playing and tapping the top. To keep the guitar this would have to be fixed. Just an update: I did more research and also had experienced guitarists test both models. I went ahead and bought the C10 (spruce/indian rosewood). I really love it. The playability of this guitar is a huge step up compared with my old C3W, now I am surprised and even regret that I have put up with my C3W for so long. I love deep and loud bass and the clarify of my treble strings. Now I can do certain things that I can't do in my old guitar. Barre for the F chord seems much easier. I can play for much longer time without feeling tired.

These guitars are: Choosing the best classical guitarist in the world is a highly subjective topic. Many classical guitar lovers have split opinions. However, when the topic comes up for discussion, a handful of names readily come to mind.

The C-9 is so lightweight i thought it would float away to the ceiling when I first took it out of its box. The guitar is well constructed and well finished. I found no flaws in joinery or finish. Alright, that said, spruce tops have a pretty different feel and sound from cedar. Where cedar gives you a warm and dark tone, spruce sounds a little more striking like a bell. So, spruce does not have that full, encompassing tone that cedar comes with. Classical guitars work with nylon strings and some of the best you can find anywhere are the Savarez Cristal Corum strings. These are high-quality nylon strings in high tension.For most people, the C9 performed way better than its price tag. Many users who used this guitar confessed to feeling reluctant initially to spending that much on a guitar. However, when they got to play. They felt they got more than their money’s worth. And there’s the key point: the price. This price is a steal for a guitar of quality. That we’re even considering talking about it in concert terms is a huge compliment, I should think. Generally speaking, classical guitars are easier to learn than acoustic guitars. However, the gap in the difficulty of learning between these two guitar types isn’t much. With a little more experienced, you’ll come to realize that both types of guitars are not hard to play. As a result, we feel that this should not be a determining factor when deciding which guitar to learn. Rather, what you want out of the guitar should be. Compared to the mahogany of the C9, Indian rosewood is higher-end and with a better sound and feel. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it also has a really beautiful appeal aesthetically as well. Again, Indian rosewood is super flexible which makes it a favorite of many guitar makers.

Now, buzzing was another problem encountered. However, this was on the customers not Cordoba. There are ways to ensure that your guitar stays in tip-top condition especially as it pertains to humidity to prevent buzzing. As mentioned, there is a perfect fusion of both old and new in the Cordoba C9 CD/MH guitar. Thrown into the mix are extra touches of class, including a pearloid/ebony rosette and wooden purfling around the body. So, will the C9 give you good company as you burn the midnight oil bent over the instrument, figuring out Barrios and Villa-Lobos? Yes. Will you enjoy its sound and playability through the years to come? Yes.Habe mich nach dem Antesten zahlreicher Konzertgitarren in der Preisklasse knapp unter 1000 Euro für dieCordoba C 9 Crossover Cedar entschieden. Bin musikalisch in den unterschiedlichsten Stilrichtungen unterwegs, hauptsächlich aber im Jazz- und Latinbereich, gelegentlich auch im Popmusikbereich, alles amateuermäßig. Most Cordoba models come with a Spanish-stye fan bracing. The bracing is the particular arrangement of wooden struts below the top wood, an arrangement optimised for generating great volume and resonance. Cordoba Iberia – offer the beginner to intermediate player a wide range of affordable half size and full size hand built Chinese made instruments with solid tops. If you’re considering a 7/8 (630 mm) guitar, I highly recommend my fuller discussion of 630 mm guitars. It gives tips and suggests options on the broader topic. However, to bring it down to the fundamentals, both guitar series offer excellent tones. Nonetheless, none of them quite hits that exclusive high-end tone. Of course, the C10 is better but it still has that plastic tone at some point.

In fact, even though many experts prefer spruce top guitars, they still have a cedar top guitar for the variety. Of course, there are places where the cedar top guitar thrives that the spruce top guitar doesn’t and vice versa. The C9 comes fitted with Savarez Cristal Corum strings 500J, a crisp sounding set of great strings. And to performance, customers were obviously in love. In fact, one described the tone of one C9 guitar as being authoritative. In their words “the voice of God speaks through this guitar” Registered office: V12 Retail Finance Limited, Yorke House, Arleston Way, Solihull, B90 4LH. Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The polyfoam case is not just a gig bag. It’s much sturdier and much plusher on the inside than the average gig bag. So, in simple terms, it’s in a better position to take care of your guitar than an ordinary gig bag.We are, I think. For all its excellent qualities, the C9 – for no fault of its own – simply does not have the aura along with the commanding price tag of a concert worthy instrument. The C9 guitars are also concert-ready guitars although with the lowest level of sophistication in the Luthier series.
