Alhambra Concert 9P A + 9557 Case

An Alhambra Designed for the Stage and the Demands of Classical Playing

The 9 P model continues the Alhambra tradition where craftsmanship emphasizes consistency, stability, and musicality. Starting at this range level, the instrument benefits from work carried out by a small group of artisans, with particular attention to finishing, adjustments, and wood selection. The result is a classical guitar with a "concert" temperament: robust, balanced, and ready to respond to the finest nuances.

For Whom and For What? A Classical Guitar That Highlights the Right Hand

This Alhambra is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking true dynamic range and immediate response to attacks. Its playing comfort is designed for working on classical repertoire, demanding nylon accompaniment, as well as modern pieces where voice clarity and dynamic control (from pianissimo to fortissimo) are essential. Its action is described as high enough to "make the instrument sing" while remaining very comfortable, which promotes precision, tone control, and cleanliness of passages.

Sound

The solid soundboard plays a central role here: it provides the expected quick response, projection, and harmonic richness of a concert guitar. The back and sides in solid Indian rosewood enhance depth, bass density, and overall breadth, while supporting a present midrange and clear trebles. The whole aims for a "balanced" equilibrium between bass, mids, and trebles, with appreciable volume reserve in a hall.

The lutherie features an optimized bracing around the bridge to maximize projection. The bone nuts (head and bridge) contribute to efficient vibration transmission: sharper attack, more stable sustain, and better definition, particularly noticeable on the first string. Finally, the nitro lacquer applied on the soundboard promotes vibration and contributes to the sensation of an "open," deep, and lively sound from the very first notes.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of this classical guitar, you can pair it with nylon classical guitar strings (set adapted to your touch), a tuner (clip-on or pedal), a stable guitar stand for home use, and a humidifier if your environment is dry to preserve the solid woods. The included case already covers protection and transport, providing a solid base for travel and storage.
