I have a C12 and it sounds amazing. The one I have was the only one available in stock in the entire San Francisco Bay Area at the time I purchased it, and it was hung 24/7 in a special humidity-controlled chamber in the storea . I used two Shure sm81 mics and recorded the pre-session music played before every Sunday service at my church. My church pastor was unaware of it until one day I invited him to join us for a home fellowship, and he inadvertently picked up the C12 (he could play some). He was immediately shocked and said it was phonomenal. I then told him I used it to record the music I recorded for the church. I never brought it to the church on stage, however. Because it normally needs condensers mics which are challenging for the sound techs to deal with on finite stage space in the presence of various electrical music instruments and stage monitors while having the choir behind.
Really good explanation of features and benefits thank you. I bet you sell a lot of guitars with that attention to detail. Of no real significance other than aesthetics of which I'm sure is subjective, I'm curios why Cordoba randomly fit their insignia inlay into the headstock? I've seen C12's with & without.
I have a c10 and it sounds far better than what this video appears to demonstrate. Sometimes though it's the player and not the guitar that makes the difference, use of nails , hand positioning, finger strokes used etc. The sound quality of this video in no way does any of the guitars proper justice.
Thanks for demonstrating the tonal qualities of these instruments. I do suspect you might be missing a few notes from Lagrima, though, when you play it. Check out measures 5 and 6 in the score. Sorry to be picky, but you're missing a few notes there. I hope you enjoy adding in the few missing notes there, which do form a melodic chain. Best wishes.
But if you say the Fan bracing is preferred, why would I want to go down to Lattice brace on the more expensive higher grade model? Ramirez classicals are fan braced I believe.
@@javiergonzalez6301 i think the same also…friend purchase c5 and i cant fault it….by chance someone sold me a c9 in spruce top for 2/3 recommended australia price of aud $1600 and again i cant fault it and is beautiful… Only thing that confuses me is why they sell them with action so high…i guess so you can adjust i imagine…
Lower codoba c5 c7 f7 even gk studio are quite underwhelming compared to other similar priced like Altamira Torres or Yamaha cg182sf. Maybe upper models are better but.
Could you please tell me the difference between the Fusion 12 and Fusion Orchestra CE? I can get a good deal on a used Fusion 12, but I fell in love with the Orchestra model at Guitar Center. I haven't played the 12 yet.
Crap, I was ready to purchase C10 until this video. C12 decidedly sounds louder with more resonance - is this true in person? I may need to shell out more $$$ grrrrr...
@@TW-il4vy no. absolutely no guitar i know of, except for maybe some getting close to it, like torres and andalusian guitars, make them like they should. i have owned all known 'brands' there are, and i will start making my own guitars.. my lesson is: you cannot buy a guitar and expect anything good until you have it in your hands and look at it and play it. it is rare that you even find a decent one these days... unfortu ate.
@@kanker5256 yep, I ended up returning 3 guitars until I got the 4th to keep. Definitely taking a chance ordering online sight unseen, and as you say, you need to have it and feel it in person.
Hello very good I bought a guitar cordoba c3m and c5 both I did not like it so bad with manufacturing defects is what you know a classic brand much better than that
You have a very beautiful name, but your choice of words has not served it well. IMHO, the video is very helpful as well as informative, and we all should be very thankful and appreciative
I actually like the sound of no nails more than nails but you have to completely change your attack and angle of hand to produce a good tone. It's also very important to have the right strings for this (gut/nylgut are best) and to have soft smooth finger tips. Dry ruff finger tips produce a awful tone and it's hard to play (fingers sort of scrap on the string and dont grip well).
@@gorgoroth666999 i played with no nails for 25 years and nails about 5 years. They both have pros and cons, but nails are superior because you can get all the tones and textures of having nails without losing the sound of no nails as well. Of course this takes practice like with anything else
It is a piece of shzt. I bought brand new c5 from guitar center. It is a lot lot less than my old yamaha c30. Price is 1/3 of cordoba. The quality is very bad. Wood is less than home depot price. Over priced
@@CesarC487 I think he meant using nails instead of finger flesh like other people is commenting. I learnt something new today, some classical guitarists prefer nails.
