I love the Troster, it came with 2 adhesive backed plastic sheets which I used on my Cordoba. It is easy and fast to attach or remove. I like the neck pretty high so it works well for me.

I don't know why it sounds so distorted. Is it due to your recording equipment? It can't be due go your guitar. I have used it on cheap Yamaha C40, it sounds good.

Savarez 520R is very good string, especially the plastic-wound G string. Many people don't like because it slows them down, but I found it ok when you are used to it. The brightness of it is simply a winner. Carbon strings are nylon strings. They are the fluorocarbon polymer, which is stiffer. That's why they are called 'carbon' as marketing gimmick. Being stiffer, they are brighter. But there is also a polymer derived from sugar molecule, called nylgut. It is also brighter because it is more brittle. It is this brittleness that causes the premature snap. Aquila Sugar is made of this material.

That is the brand I use. It's very good. 😂

Student guitar? That's a of money for a student. A solid top Cordoba C3m (under £300 GBP) is more affordable for the student. This lovely C10 can be the next level further along the journey.

Parlor guitars are not just for small hands or young people....... some of us bigger adults want one with a short scale for an easier time of it when stretching, or a smaller body to play whilst sitting on the couch, or for use as a convenient songwriting tool, instead of a great big Gibson jumbo!

Great video! I appreciate your comments, opinions and playing. Would you happen to know what strings came with the Yamaha SLG100N Silent Guitar. I had to replace them and have not been able to find any similar. They sounded and felt great. The treble strings were a milky white color and they had a tiny thin red plastic tip at the end of the string. They also felt more like a steel string than a nylon string. If you have any thoughts on which strings you think they may be I would really appreciate. Thank you!

Thanks...❤..

Danke . Nach dieser Vorstellung habe ich diese Aquila Alabastro auf meine Gitarre ( La Mancha Opalo SX ) aufgezogen. Ich bin glücklich mit dieser neuen Saiten Auswahl.

A warning regarding the ErgoPlay support. It works well but the suction cups would not adhere to my satin finish Taylor Academy guitar. They work well on a gloss finish but not on a satin finish.

Would these scratch or damage the gloss of the guitar

So, 'rectified' merely means, through a certain process, the string is, after initial extrusion, 're-extruded' or some how shaven to remove 'mountains and valleys' along its length, making the string nearest to perfectly contoured throughout, in turn retaining the best intonation on each note along it.. Yes ?

Thank you

Thanks for sharing. HopeToFind d'right strings. Liked & Subscribed.

Thank you

Hi, thanks for the video but what about doing away with supports and footstools altogether and hold the guitar across your body with the bottom of the guitar on your right lap steadied by the right arm like Scott Tenant and Michael Chapdelaine ? It looks entirely natural and comfortable, probably would take some getting used to but I think it would be better for posture and also would eventually feel great. I have started to try that and it feels good and right to play in that position. I have tried supports but they can’t quite seem to be able to position the guitar central across your body, they are either one side or another.

Great summary of lesson books. I like that way you included examples from each book playing in the background during discussions. This tells me you've actually tried them, which makes your advice all the more interesting. I would have never considered the Julio Sagreras book before listening to your review. You have changed my mind! Great explanation of the Scott Tennant book, in the past I didn't see much sense in using it.

Thankyou-very informative, I'm half way through Noad's Volume 1 which combined with Tizoc Estrada CZcams videos is great way to learn. The other books I'm using for technique are Kappel (The Bible of Classical Guitar Technique), Gilbert Biberian (Liber -the Book of Guitar, Vol.1) & Scott Tennant (Pumping Nylon)

I had a hard time seeing what you were doing, but thanks for the video. Does the curved edge go up or face down? I thing the flat surface is up? I am currently using the String Tie brand (from Tenor in Germany) and they seem to be working well, but may use the Rosette Diamond Secures on my other guitar.

A very good review, to the point and had everything needed. Especially appreciated your insightful reference to the vector forces! Once I saw you set it up for play, have to agree with you.

By the way, how tall are you? I'm just 5'4" and a heavy guy with thick thighs. I wonder if this contraction will work for me. Thank you for your informative video. 🤔

I was using a foot stool since I was a kid (64 now). I got one of these and I like it better (more comfortable) but it requires you to readjust your learning of the hand placement. I find myself trying to reassure myself that my left hand is on the strings they are supposed to be on are correct. I'm sure it will adjust eventually,

Thank you for your review of this. I currently have a Cordoba Dolce (which is a 7/8). Same dimensional specs, nut, etc. Shorter scale. I am thinking of going with the the normal or higher tension. Your C10 definitely has an overall much better tone (although your playing adds a lot to the difference I am hearing - for the better I mean, of course). I do not play classical guitar pieces, but love the sound of this guitar (and my dolce). I play folk music, mostly from the 50s - 80s. My style is my own and when I hear people tell me I ought to play classical pieces with the guitar I kind of cringe.

8:00 Just teaching how to save money on treble strings. Sorry string companies, trebles lasts way way longer than bass strings. It is what it is.

What's that buzz? Seems your neck is slightly off at the pocket or level frets slightly

Murata used to be called the AdjuStar in the 1980's.Been using mine since 1986. Make sure people know that vinyl melts lacquer finishes if the two come in contact.

Excellent review Narayan. Thank you & warm regards, Mark

Thanks Mark. Will definitely try these out.

They also sound great when played w/ a Pick.

Meow meow meow

I love my C10 parlor. The sound has gotten better over the last few weeks. Sometimes I miss a string because I'm not used to the smaller size, but it's definitely easier to play.

I prefer the Paragon reds because they're not as bright as the blue, and the tension is higher than the D'addario normal tension. I feel like I've found the perfect string for me.

i screwed up, i have the C10 but not the C10 parlor guitar.

Hi Narayan, I enjoyed your interview in the CGC Academy podcast. These are very interesting recommendations. I particularly like the Sagreras Leccione. They are just amazing to play.

This was excellent and just what I needed. Sounds like 3-5K is the sweet spot for getting enough but not overspending (would be used in all likelihood).

I had to come back to this video and see what work and op. was the Sor Etude. My father plays it, it's amazing

Difference between C9 and C10 in Cordoba guitars, please? I'm looking a guitar to play bossa nova. Which one is the best choice? Spruce or Cedar?

cool

I'm just a casual non-pro player. have never seen a foldable guitar rest for the thigh. Does that attach to the guitar with adhesive? I would be concerned about damaging the finish on my guitar. Also, I liked both strings but the Augustine sounded a little smoother and more pleasant. The La Bella were a little sharper and more pronounced.

They're so expensive in Canada... $1500USD

Every GVR guitar I have ever played has been a brilliant guitar. From a 6000 dollar solista to a 2500 dollar estudio. Great great maker!

I found the extension to be needed and worked poorly. Quite glitchy and obviously an afterthought.

Is it unusual for the action at the 12 fret 3 mm ?

I personally think that the Aquila set you've reviewed did a far better job at Baroque than these stirngs, they sound quite 'plasticky' to me.

Ain't no way I am going to tape magnets to my guitar

Augustine 2017pink gold low tension ... not produced anymore??, best strings for quite spanish music on old small guitars, ...perfecto* (best soft handling, soft-clear tone, natural authentic sustain)

Geez that would get expensive 20 hrs

On my cordoba c10 spruce The stock savarez crystal corum were crazy plasticky and made me not like the guitar, tried Aquila alchemist but the intonation was off and I had a lot of unpleasant overtones on my my b and e strings I was getting ready to return the guitar when I saw they had sent me rectified la Bella trebles and basses and all I can say is wow It is so woody anf sweet, sounds like gut, no plasticity at all and since I play with flesh that’s huge Most strings are too percussive and muddy for me They are three perfect strings

I've used them for a few years now. Ready to order a third set. On the treble strings, I swell the end tip a little using a Bic lighter... creating a micro ball shape. It's less likely to slip under tension this way. The treble strings, I only loop once through the string beads.

Спасибо! Вы мне очень помогли определиться. Куплю среднего натяжения их новинку!
