Overview
A lattice braced cedar top does the work on this handmade Cordoba, paired with Indian rosewood back and sides and a flamed maple wedge. Nylon strings run over a fixed bridge, and a raised ebony fingerboard eases reaching the upper frets.
Handmade construction, Canadian cedar and Indian rosewood make it a serious step up for a classical student. Scale length and nut width are absent from the listing, which matters to players with smaller hands.
Who it's for
Students and returning players working through fingerstyle classical repertoire get a handmade instrument with a humidified case. Left handed players and anyone who needs onstage amplification should look at other models.

Performance notes
Cedar tops respond quickly to a light touch, and lattice bracing lets the top flex across a wide area for more volume. Humidity governs long term stability of the wood, which is why the humidified case matters.
