Cordoba Luthier C9-CED Classical Nylon Guitar

Product Information

For instance, say you want to play for something intimate, for a lover probably, cedar top guitars work. Because the guitar comes out sounding full, it doesn’t punch all the individual notes of a chord, so it sounds more seamless and free-flowing ish.

The Acoustic and Classical guitars are two different types of guitars and serve slightly different purposes. Acoustic guitars are suited to modern music and allow for more experimentation if you are one who likes to try out new things.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.

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. 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. Cordoba C10 CD/IN Acoustic Nylon String Classical Guitar, Cordoba C10 Parlor CD Acoustic Nylon String Parlor Size Guitar, and the Cordoba C10 Lefty Guitar Cordoba Guitars was founded in 1997 by Tim Miklaucic, a leading nylon string expert who studied classical guitar under the guidance of his mentor, Celin Romero. His vision was simple; to preserve, nurture and continue the evolution of the nylon-strung guitar by building on the techniques of early master luthiers and adding modern developments. The beautiful thing about the Cordoba C10 is that it comes with a whole array of options. Cordoba created this series such that you can almost definitely say that there’s something for everyone in the series. So, a whole range of guitarists would find a guitar for themselves in this series.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. A reduction of 20 mm may not seem like much but it provides players with a shorter frame good reach and playability across frets without losing the full bodied sound in any appreciable way. 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. So there we have it – the C9’s features, its price and its ambition to woo the serious, advanced student. The C9 enters the stage with a promise of a beautiful concert instrument with an affordable price tag.

Cordoba is going all out in the detailing of the C9 to tell you to take it seriously as a worthy, superior instrument. And many agree that it is so. At the affordable price it is at, it’s easy to forget that it’s actually a highly recommended, well attested guitar. 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. Its features-for-the-price balance is impressive. And it’s a Cordoba at the end of the day. As much as Yamaha was prized as a top brand in the years gone by, Cordoba has won for itself a great name in the last few decades. And the C9 stands among its top-selling models.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

The C9 guitars are also concert-ready guitars although with the lowest level of sophistication in the Luthier series.

The choice to go with nylon or steel strings is dependent on the kind of music you want to play. Classical guitars often come with nylon strings while Acoustic guitars could come in either steel or nylon strings. There are a number of reasons why your guitar strings might be too hard to press down. If your action height is too high, this will most definitely make your strings feel harder to press as you’ll have to use more force. 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.

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.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. From an earlier intermediate stage, the C9 is definitely a worthy step up. It is feature-rich and highly regarded. But are we pushing it if we claim it to be a concert guitar?
