hi @oliverwaterman, can I know what guitar you are using for this piece. It has good sound. Definitely a solid cedar top. A technical piece.

Sort:  

thanks! sure, it's a Cordoba C 9 Dolce. It's Solid Cedar top, Solid Mahogany back and sides. I had to wait to find one used. They discontinued the Dolce's and make a similar model called a Parlor that doesn't seem to match up in sound quality. Kenny Hill designed and set up the shop for the cordoba "Luthier" series back when the Dolce was in the line, so maybe something happened to the factory and it's people since then, because once they replaced the Ebony fretboard with rosewood and called it a Parlor, you have to get the C10 in order to get any good sound from them.

With solid cedar and solid mahogany you shld have good sound projectilon. Have u tried hannabach strings...brings out the warm mellow sound in a cedar. Compliments well. People who play with a lot of emotions like urself is very suited for cedar top. For me although i am delivering using a cedar my preference is spruce. Bright loud and slightly percussive. Good for flamenco.
