Alhambra Professional M & M SERIE C + Case 9568

An Alhambra with a resolutely "stage" positioning in the spirit of Mengual & Margarit

The Mengual & Margarit Série C fits within a clearly professional approach: a classical guitar designed to meet the real demands of the stage and large halls, where projection, stability, and emission efficiency become as important as the beauty of the timbre. Within the range, this model stands out by seeking a balance between controlled power and control, to maintain usable dynamics and precise articulation even when the right hand is heavily engaged.

The core of this identity lies in the soundboard and its internal structure: the Mengual & Margarit Série C bracing is designed to "carry" the sound without sacrificing the responsive flexibility needed for the repertoire. The goal is not just to "play louder," but to maintain constant presence, voice clarity, and predictable behavior in dynamics-a key point for guitarists alternating between classrooms, rehearsals, auditions, and concerts.

Who is the Série C for? Conservatory, stage, and demanding repertoire

This classical guitar primarily targets advanced intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an instrument capable of supporting progression toward concert repertoire. Its quick response and immediate "grip" under the fingers make it a solid ally for working on consistency, attack precision, control of sound planes, and dynamic management.

It is particularly comfortable in the classical repertoire (Baroque, Romantic, contemporary), where clarity and voice separation are essential. Its projection-oriented temperament may also appeal to guitarists attracted to more modern aesthetics (current flamenco, arrangements, hybrid pieces), as long as the priority remains a classical guitar capable of sustaining notes, remaining clear in polyphony, and retaining body when dynamics are pushed. The left-hand comfort encourages expressive playing: legato, vibrato, singing phrasing, tremolo, and fast passages gain fluidity.

A rich and responsive sound: solid red cedar, solid Indian rosewood, and "large hall" lutherie

The sound personality of this Alhambra is based on a combination of woods emblematic of concert guitars: solid red cedar soundboard and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Red cedar is prized for its quick response and immediately "speaking" character: notes come out easily, with an attack ease that supports both controlled pianissimo and more assertive flights. This responsiveness is valuable for singing passages and timbre consistency across dynamic variations.

Solid Indian rosewood generally provides depth and harmonic breadth that reinforce the sense of foundation in the bass while maintaining rich and sustained trebles. Musically, this translates into a guitar that fills the space, with a generous harmonic spectrum and comfortable note sustain for melodic lines, full chords, and polyphonic textures.

The mention of Mengual & Margarit Série C bracing is decisive: the internal structure of the soundboard directly contributes to projection, power reserve, and note stability. The fact that the model is offered with two different reinforcements (depending on the guitarist's demands) fits a "concert" logic: refining the instrument's behavior to suit a touch, attack, and way of making the soundboard breathe that can vary greatly from one musician to another.

Finally, the French polishing finish follows a high-end tradition: beyond aesthetics, it highlights the sensation of vibration and the natural resonance of the woods. The desired result is an expressive and nuanced instrument, capable of breadth when required, but above all able to faithfully translate the right hand's intention into a rich, controllable, and musical sound.

Recommended compatible accessories

As a classical guitar, this model is compatible with nylon strings (standard classical guitar sets, to be chosen according to desired tension and feel). Since the instrument comes with a 9568 case, adding a case humidifier can also be relevant to preserve the solid woods when the air is dry and maintain better playing stability (feel under the fingers and tuning stability).
