A high-end classical, crafted by Alhambra's artisanship
Starting from the 8 P series, Alhambra entrusts manufacturing to a smaller group of artisans to ensure a level of finish and consistency worthy of concert instruments. The 9 P fits within this approach: a selection of premium woods (solid red cedar top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides) and lutherie work focused on acoustic response, durability, and an immediate sense of quality once the guitar is in hand.
For which guitarist and styles?
The Alhambra 9 P is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive and precise classical guitar, suitable for the classical repertoire, fingerstyle, and nuanced playing requiring clear voice separation. Its balance and projection also make it an excellent choice for studio work, acoustic stage performance, or recording, when a bright and singing first string is desired.
Sound characteristics
The solid red cedar top provides a quick response, a rounded feel, and harmonic richness ideal for dynamics and legato. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides enhance depth, note sustain, and definition, while supporting full bass and dense midrange. The bridge-shaped bracing is designed to push the soundboard to deliver more volume and projection, which is immediately noticeable in attack and reach. Finally, the bone nut and saddle promote efficient vibration transmission, while the nitrocellulose lacquer applied on the soundboard helps the wood vibrate more freely, resulting in a deep, open, and lively sound.
Recommended compatible accessories
This pack already includes the 9557 case designed for classical guitars, ideal for daily transport and protection, with a soft interior and space for your accessories (tuner, string set, classical capo, etc.).
