Cordoba MASTER SERIES classical guitar TORRES - Capricho Arabe

[@Srvtecej]

Holy cow. You nailed it. Tone, dynamics, emotion, everything.

[@PaulChaplo]

Sigh. Magnificent performance!

[@ReviewGuitar]

Thanks man for the compliment. I cannot comment on the other guitars, but this one is quite special. Listen with your ears; in some ways the guitar sounds better than guitars twice its price.

[@ReviewGuitar]

It is very comfortable and perfectly set up. With the 640 mm. scale even the most challenging stretches become easier to play. No adjustments necessary as I took it out of its case.

[@tylershellhammer9783]

looks and sounds absolutely beautiful

[@dkshin707]

Wonderful! Slow and clear sound by Tavi's magic hands. I have small hands and this is the right one for me.

[@somebodyfixmyinternet]

I've had this guitar for 4 years and it was well worth the money. It regularly gets compliments because of its beautiful tone.

[@DavidLevinson]

Wonderfully played on a beautiful sounding guitar.

[@uraimuhammadreza]

Great sounds

[@sebmejia]

Beautiful interpretation! Cheers!

[@user-ev2qo1hj1g]

I like the Torres sound over the Hauser really. It may not be as broad tonally, but the range it is in it just is so balanced and sings so beautifully. The basses have the hollow growl and the mids and trebles so sweet

[@うめちん-d6v]

You are maestro, great performance. Thank you from Japan.

[@JudeJaded15]

I've played a few cheap (as in well under $1000) Torres knock-offs and was impressed w/the sound and feel over the larger traditional designs; that's why I know I have to own this guitar.

[@Michajeru]

Oh my goodness I love this guitar and, of course, the guitarist is wonderful.

[@nickmclay]

Wow, what sound from a small body guitar! Beautiful playing, Tavi.

[@GUMBY1942]

Once again great player but its a shame hes playing a paper guitar im surprised he didnt end up with the fret board in his lap.

[@nickmclay]

GUMBY1942 Troll, be quiet

[@patxilek]

Excelente versión, interpretada en su tempo. De las mejores.!!!

[@douglasmcintyre3297]

Bravo maestro.

[@TheAmateurGuitarist]

Beautiful!

[@dirtydavesgarage8251]

lovely tone and playing!

[@brianbowersox8392]

By listening to this I would never think it was a smaller scale and body. It's a very full sound versatile guitar. Also, nice guitar hero pj pants.

[@christocr]

Incredible sound and playing. So clear. If olny I had an extra $3500 lying around... :-)

[@siddyx]

Class act ! Clear as a bell as usual

[@elvandammedegandia]

you are incredible!

[@seanraidley2643]

Exquisite!

[@SmalltimR]

Such a small body, yet such an amazing sound

[@nikosz66]

Excellent sound indeed! Is it also easy to play ?

[@tzzbee]

Is that the same guitar you're playing on the Cordoba videos, which are beautiful btw, or is it another guitar in the same series? I'm just curious to know how consistent the guitars in the series are.

[@lorenzodelgaudio]

it's the same guitar.

[@musicalchuck]

How does this compare to the Esteso by Cordoba Models?

[@tenzinalexander]

What is the top made of? It's beautiful white color that I would like to have on my next guitar.

[@niceguitar6144]

Spruce. The darker, reddish tops are made of cedar.

[@oldmanandthesea7039]

Before I came here, I was listening to some latticed guitars comparison videos. Hearing the clear but mighty sound of this guitar, I felt instantly refreshed. Using an analogy, it’s like a traveler who walked under the bright sun for hours, and someone offered him a cup of thick chocolate. Rich as it is, the traveler found it hard to swallow. Then the stranger offered him a glass of sparkling water, and that is how I felt the difference! I am pretty sure that is how Mr. Torres felt about the “modern guitars”.

[@niceguitar6144]

Well written but I wouldn’t be so sure how Torres felt about modern guitars. He never had the great displeasure of hearing a lattice top, or a double top guitar.

[@casimirovivo]

what kind of microphone are you using!!? :)

[@21nf2]

Bravo

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Suponiendo que yo no supiera quién toca ¿a quién voy a calificar?...La obra, desde luego es muy conocida y hermosa, es de Tárrega...¿quién la toca en esta oportunidad?...En la presentación se dice que la guitarra es una réplica de una "Antonio Torres"...esta guitarra suena muy bien...¿Quién la toca?...

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Me respondo yo mismo: El que toca es el maestro Tavi Jinariu. Debo decir que es una excelente versión. Este intérprete es un verdadero maestro....Felicitaciones...

[@jeffreagan2001]

I am afraid I would be spoiled from the 640 mm string length.

[@rockermetalhead1200]

How much did you pay for that torres?

[@seanraidley2643]

+rockermetalhead1200 I think its like $2500 or so...

[@nickmclay]

$3500

[@niceguitar6144]

Hey amigo, just a couple of things if you don’t mind. This is not a Torres, it’s a really poor imitation of a Torres. The price is inflated by at least $1500 because it’s made in the United States and not in China.

[@go4384]

Wow, this translates well even on my cheap laptop speakers

[@fingerhorn4]

That is a lovely sound with great sustain. Two things: I wonder whether the microphone or recording is creating more sustain than the instrument is actually delivering, and also the B string sounds sharp in the upper frets. I don't know whether this is just a tuning problem or whether the string/frets are "out" above the fifth fret? Any Torres owners care to comment?

[@cookiezztest7702]

Microphones don't create sustain.

[@fingerhorn4]

cookie zztest No but compression/expansion can.

[@cookiezztest7702]

A bit, but no amount of compression will sustain a note that is already dying on the instrument. If there was that much compression on the recording, you would recognize it immediately because it would sound squashed and lack dynamics.

[@niceguitar6144]

Let me comment on your hearing: basically, it’s excellent. This guitar may look pretty, and it may even have relatively decent sound, but it is nothing like a Torres guitar, nothing at all. Also, you are right; the guitar clearly has intonation issues. I realize this sounds arrogant, but it is also the truth: all the people who go gaga over this guitar simply don’t know any better, or don’t basis for comparison.

[@MarcoAurelio1987]

Well played!! I have the question is it worth 3,500??

[@niceguitar6144]

No it’s not.

At what age did you start playing guitar?

[@soulvaccination8679]

3500.00! Leaves me out

[@stevew1643]

Nice pajama pants. I think it suits ;)

[@niceguitar6144]

Man, I really hate to trash the guitar, and it’s not terrible, but how this resembles anything Antonio Torres ever made remains a mystery to me. Let me tell you how: to put it more simply, it does not in anyway sound like anything Torres ever made. It also sounds like it has an intonation issue. Basically, it is not an awful guitar, but don’t mistake it with anything remotely Torres like.

[@franciscopahua9569]

More like “I can’t wait to trash this guitar” 😂 I’ve seen multiple comments from you left all over this comment section repeating the same thing.

[@niceguitar6144]

@@franciscopahua9569 hahaha trash but deserved, no? Don’t tell me you hear a guitar that in any way sounds like a Torres.

[@uraimuhammadreza]

Great sound
