A Traditional Model Within Alhambra Luthiery
The 2 C OP follows a traditional approach: a selection of woods known for their musicality and an open pore finish that emphasizes visual authenticity and tactile contact with the wood. Designed as a reliable and musical instrument, it serves as an excellent entry point into the world of the lute, while maintaining careful and consistent craftsmanship to work on playing precision.
For Which Musician and Repertoires?
This lute is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate musicians seeking an expressive, comfortable, and stable instrument to progress with. It fits traditional repertoires, early music (depending on tuning and technique), as well as delicate accompaniments where clarity, softness, and good note-to-note definition are expected.
Sound
The solid red cedar soundboard provides a soft and immediate attack, with present midrange and an "open" sound feeling from the first notes. The combination of mahogany back and sides (sapelli) enhances warmth and roundness while maintaining clear articulation in arpeggiated patterns. The Open Pore finish highlights the wood grain and contributes to a natural resonance sensation, with balanced projection and pleasant sustain for melodic phrases.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The supplied case effectively protects the instrument during transport. To complement it without compatibility issues, a clip-on tuner (chromatic) and a microfiber cloth are excellent allies for quick tuning and regular maintenance of the open pore finish.
