An Alhambra Concert Classical, Crafted by Artisans
When you hold this Alhambra, you immediately feel a guitar designed for "concert" playing: robustness, stage-appropriate dimensions, and an action designed to make the instrument sing while remaining comfortable. Starting from the 8P series, manufacturing is entrusted to a small group of artisans, which is reflected here in meticulous finishing and a demanding wood selection, serving an instrument that is both refined and high-performing.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The Alhambra 9 P CW E8+ is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive classical guitar with dynamic reserve and excellent precision on the first string. It is especially suitable for the classical repertoire, demanding solo pieces, but also for modern contexts where true presence is expected (arrangements, nuanced accompaniment, fingerstyle playing). The cutaway facilitates access to the upper frets, a real advantage for phrasing high up the neck.
Sound Characteristics
The tonal character comes from a coherent combination: solid top paired with a bracing designed to maximize volume and projection. The result is a sound described as deep, with balanced bass, midrange, and treble, useful both in arpeggios and melodies. The nitro lacquer applied on the top contributes to a sensation of quick response and more present vibration. Finally, the choice of bone nuts (headstock and saddle) enhances attack definition and clarity, especially on the first string, highlighted for its brilliance and interpretative richness.
