Description

The handmade C10 Parlor (7/8 size) is ideal for the player looking for the feel, comfort, and ease of playability that a smaller instrument provides, while retaining the sweet, warm tone created by all-solid wood construction. The C10 Parlor is handmade by a small team of builders in a boutique workshop using traditional Spanish construction techniques such as the Spanish heel, hand-carved necks and braces, and domed soundboards. It also features the vintage elegance of a hand-inlaid mother-of-pearl rosette inspired by a 1920s Domingo Esteso design. Like its full-size companion, the C10 CD, the C10 Parlor is made with a solid Canadian cedar top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Includes case.

Time will tell
Style: Includes Case Color: Cedar, Parlor
Just received this Cordoba C10 Parlor. I was looking for a small scale (630mm) classical to practice and play on. I have been wanting one to make longer practice sessions easier on my fretting hand do to nerve damage in my left arm and hand. It took me several months of reading reviews and also listening to Youtube reviews before I decided on this particular brand and model. I could have ordered a 630mm scale from the shop in Spain that made my current 650mm classical, but after calculating the cost and time for a new build, I opted for this one. It was less than half the cost of a new Burguet along with not having to wait 2 to 3 months for the guitar to be built. I also chose this model because it was a solid Indian Rosewood and Cedar top similar to my high-end Burguet. I must say I was very pleased with the craftsmanship. The bindings and purflings were spot on. The neck was straight and the action just right. Normally I take all my newly acquired guitars to a luthier friend to have him adjust the bridge saddle and nut and also the action. I was very pleased that this model did not need any adjustments. I played every fret on all the strings down to the body and there was not one fret buzz. The only small complaint, I have, and this is a very very minor one, was that the treble strings B and E seemed to be a bit "muddy or dull". But I am sure this is probably due to their age and where it sat (warehouse) until I purchased it. So I have ordered a new set of the Savarez Cristal Corum High Tension 500CJ. Hopefully they will be brighten up the highs. It's been two days since I took possession and I'm letting the solid woods acclimate to my office/music room. I am lucky to have a room that has steady temps and humidity favorable to guitars. Never drops below 70F and 45% humidity. I was also pleased with the case that came with the guitar. Even though it's a nylon gig bag it is sturdy and I don't see the point in buying a hard case for it. None of my guitars are kept in cases. I hang all my guitars on a wall using the Hercules hangers so they have a steady environment. I intend to append this review once the new strings arrive in the mail and the guitar settles in to it's environment. And for those wondering the local "Guitar Center" doesn't carry much in strings for classical guitars. Update: It has been a week since aquiring the Cordoba C10 Parlor, and as promised here is an update to my review. I did receive new strings earlier this week and had intended putting them on this weekend. But to my delight the guitar has fully acclimated to my music room environment. It has stayed in tune and the two upper stings "B" and "E" are sounding crisp and are ringing clear. The "G" string still seems to be a little muddy, but that seems to be the case with most nylon stings. Over the past 50 years I have owned several high-end guitars and even on them the "G" string always was an issue with being just a tad muddy. I am very happy with this guitar. It is a very beautiful looking and sounding instrument. Although after a closer look, I believe my guitars ebony fretboard was not fully stained. But that is not an issue, I will simply apply a good oil on the first string change in a few months. Update Nov 2020... Have now had this guitar for two months and play it almost every day. Have yet to do a string change. They are still crisp with of course the exception on the "G" string. That one is still a bit muddy. There was another customer on here that warned about humidity and the guitar going out of tune. I have not had that issue so far. My office/music rooms humidity is constantly between 47% and 55% and the strings have stayed in tune throughout my owning it. I have read several critiques here about poor build quality. I guess I was lucky with my purchase. Neck was straight, action was spot on, easy to fret and play. As for the frets themselves they were perfect, no sharp edges on the ends. Also the tops were polished smooth. I would say it's total finish, edges, binding and all are just as good as my higher end Burguet "studio" model guitar that came from a small luthier shop in Spain. I am very pleased with my purchase. ... show more

Cordoba C10 Parlor CD Review
Style: Includes Case Color: Cedar, Parlor
I recently purchased the Cordoba C10 Parlor CD guitar directly from Amazon, and I am totally amazed by the instrument. I have been playing classical guitar for over three years, and I wanted to upgrade to a more professional level guitar at an affordable price. I am also a small adult. I need a guitar appropriate for my my stature and my small hand size, and this guitar certainly meets my requirements. I have been playing Cordoba C10 Parlor CD guitar for about a week, and I have even brought it to my guitar lesson for my guitar instructor to examine. When I opened the guitar case, the first thing that struck me was the beauty of the guitar. The hand-inlaid mother-of-pearl rosette against the cedar top is very elegant, and the solid Indian rosewood back and sides are just gorgeous. More importantly, however, the guitar sounds great! The combination of the the cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides gives the guitar sweet, warm tonal qualities. Although the guitar is labeled "parlor," it does have plenty of volume. Both my guitar instructor and I tested the fret alignment, and there are no issues with fret alignment. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Cordoba C10 Parlor CD guitar, and I highly recommend this guitar. ... show more

Love it!
Style: Includes Case Color: Cedar, Parlor
It's hard to walk by this guitar and not pick it up. Fun to play. Beautiful look, sound and quality. "You'll have to pay 3K and up to get a guitar that sounds better than this." This quote from a classical guitar instructor, who's been playing for 40 years.

For the price you can't get better tone or quality than Cordoba
Style: Includes Case Color: Cedar, Parlor
Unbelievable sound! For the price you can't get better tone or quality than Cordoba! The 7/8 parlor size is perfect for a smaller individual. It makes it so much easier to work on the fretboard. I'm. not sure I will outgrow this guitar in terms of quality and sound. It's amazing that Cordoba has created such a beautiful sounding instrument for under $1000. I have a feeling this is going to be a very long term relationship! ... show more

Bass was way out of balance
Style: Includes Case Color: Cedar, Parlor
Bass was way out of balance. If you strum a A-minor chord, just strumming the last 4 strings, without touching the Bass E or A, the Bass E would vibrate and hum out of control, almost as if it had been plucked. I felt the need to palm mute it, like you do with an electric guitar, to control the bass rumbling. I was playing it without an amp. Something was off with the design of the soundboard bracing, I guess. It was really annoying and made the guitar unplayable, in my opinion. I was pretty disappointed for a guitar at this price point. (I have others at this price point: Alhambra, Montalvo, Alvarez, and another Cordoba, they all sound really nice) The vendor Calido was great. I would buy from them again. ... show more

Got the guitar from Amazon and the guitar sounded great and very comfortable to play, However, there were two dark line imperfections in the top wood grain near the soundhole which I didn't like in a $1000 guitar, so I returned it.
