Cordoba C9 PARLOR CD W/C 7/8 Natural Classical guitar

Cordoba C9 Parlor CD W/C — Premium Comfort, Refined Tone

The Cordoba C9 Parlor CD W/C classical guitar offers a sophisticated playing experience in a slightly smaller, player-friendly body size. As part of Cordoba's Luthier Series, this 7/8-size model showcases a blend of all-solid wood construction and Spanish craftsmanship. Benefit from the comfort and easy playability of a shorter scale, while carefully selected tonewoods produce the warmth, balance, and projection found in high-end instruments. The C9 Parlor CD W/C caters to those who demand expressive tone and ergonomic design in a professional-level instrument.

Standout Features That Define the C9 Parlor

One highlight of the C9 Parlor CD W/C is its compact 7/8 body paired with authentic Spanish fan bracing—a combination rarely encountered at this level. Its all-solid Canadian Cedar top resonates in harmony with solid Mahogany back and sides for a nuanced, sweet voice with remarkable clarity. Meticulous attention to detail is evident in the hand-inlaid mother-of-pearl and ebony "Esteso" weave rosette and the high-gloss polyurethane finish, which lends both durability and visual sophistication.

Optimized Playability & Classical Comfort

Comfort is central to the C9 Parlor's design, making it ideal for extended practice or performance. The shorter 630 mm scale length and slimmer 50 mm nut width reduce finger stretches, allowing players with smaller hands to execute complex repertoire more easily. Enjoy both stability and a familiar feel from the C-shaped mahogany neck and traditional Spanish heel construction.

• Scale Length: 630 mm — easier stretches and relaxed hand positioning
• Nut Width: 50 mm — facilitates comfortable chord shapes for smaller hands
• With its 7/8 body size, the instrument is compact yet resonant—ideal for ergonomic performance in any setting.

All-Solid Tonewoods for Superior Sound

Every element of the C9 Parlor contributes to a refined tonal character. The solid Canadian Cedar top enhances sustain and warmth, while solid Mahogany back and sides add depth and responsiveness. Fan bracing provides dynamic range and balance between basses and trebles, ensuring a rich, woody sound that surpasses many factory-built instruments.

• Top: Solid Canadian Cedar — delivers a warm, expressive response with subtle overtones
• Thanks to solid Mahogany back and sides, you get clear projection and focused mids that support expressive playing.
• Bracing: Spanish fan — supports both volume and nuanced dynamics
