A beautiful instrument

The instrument is beautiful, a joy just to look at. The tone is amazing, mesmerizing! I can't believe I actually own an instrument this beautiful and this wonderful sounding. Amazing! Well worth the money I spent for it.

Brian Lemert took care of me. I'm thrilled with the guitar. I'll give it time to get used to it. The tone is perfect.

A Marvelous Guitqr

I recently purchased the Canadian Cedar top Cordoba C9 and from the moment I opened the bag I was amazed. I've played for many years on both steel string and classical guitars and nothing compares to the C9. It's a beautiful instrument to look at, with its high gloss, solid wood construction and gold tuning machines. It's the lightest guitar I've ever held and and fits me very well.… read more The C9 sound, though, is its most remarkable feature, offering a beautiful full warm and mellow tone totally unlike my previous guitars. It came with Savarez Cristal Corum strings, which, although high tension, are easy on my fingers. Overall, the C9 is a marvelous well-priced guitar and I'd recommend it to anyone moving up from starters.

A true upgrade to my musical experience

The Cordoba C-9 Classical guitar with the included Savarez Crystal Corum high tension strings was hesistantly purchased as I wondered if it would really be much of an improvement over my Cordoba C-5 classical guitar. It was. Oh yes, it was! My C-5 was no slouch in the beauty of sound department, but the solid wood C-9 clearly sounds so much better -- let's call it regal in it's… read more sound. Clear, ringing notes across all strings. Noticeably greater sound projection than the C-5. It seems to me that the Savarez high tension strings that come stock with the C-9 are well suited to this instrument. I find no fault with their sound (I'm awestruck) -- I won't even consider switching the strings out. 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. The Cordoba deluxe gig bag that encases it is a large step up from the entry level Cordoba gig bag I had the C-5 in. The deluxe gig gag has twice the thickness of internal padding than the entry level gig bag, so I'm not worried about damaging the guitar if I run into a door jamb. Sweetwater's 55 point inspection resulted in this guitar being immediately playable. It arrived well set-up. I appreciated Sweetwater's way of packaging the guitar for shipment. During shipment someone put their boot through the external box leaving a four inch hole. The internal box was untouched and undamaged.
