I've always loved the warm/mellow sound of a classical guitar. And they don't hurt my fingers as much as a steel string acoustic (And I've owned many steel string acoustics over the years).
@@FlowforthInstruments Yeah they have a great sound for the price. Appart from traditional classical guitar music they are perfect for folk, blues or song writing.
Got my self a Malaga, and yeah beautiful sound, And plus it’s Spanish made that’s a plus for me, if only cordoba C5 was made in Spain not China, but to compared with both, Malaga has a better sound and price range is good as well.
@@FlowforthInstruments good day! Thank you for posting this video. As an American in the market for a good student-level classical guitar I’d like to find a made-in-Spain model that competes with Cordoba. How would you compare the C7 and C9 to Thai Malaga guitar?
Thankyou, enjoyed that: a simple, informed review of 3 similar yet quite different instruments. I am just getting into learning to play classical style and Admira seem to give a lot of "bang for buck"; particularly their 'mid-range' instrument models. I too like a Cedar top .. :) (never understood what fuels the trolls; such a waste of kinetic energy)
Looking for a $400 Classical, considering the Admira Malaga, Kremona Soloist s65c, or maybe a Cordoba C7 (if I get a open box/used). Which sounds the most premium? Which has the best build quality? Any other brand/models you would recommend in this price range? Thanks in advance and please keep the content coming. :)
Plz tell me about admira Cadiz (solid cedar top) . I can't find much infos online. Is it an old guitar? I play at professional level on OUD , just don't want to buy a beginner's guitar although I am learning to play guitar right now. One more thing, the seller is asking 200$ for it (excellent condition+ hard bag) so what do you think?
Do you have any experience with the Admira Juanita? I've got the opportunity to buy a second hand one for quite a cheap price but I can't find any reviews online.
@@FlowforthInstruments I've got a new Admira Malaga guitar, but I don't know how to check it is made in Espana or another country. Please guide me. Thanks !
No - lots of people play other styles on classical guitars. Flamenco, Bosanova, Jazz, Country, Folk... in fact, Willie Nelson's famous 'Trigger' guitar is a classical.
Unfortunately, they are made in China. I was in Spain and looked at these guitars and the box they come in have a little paper slip in-between the nut and the head saying "Made In China". Also, if you read on their website, it is very misleading. They state that they take great care in insuring their "far east" counterparts are trained and observed by well trained Spaniard luthiers. Unless you are buying their higher tier guitars, they are made in China.
I bought my Malaga in 1996 and I still have it today. Very happy with it.
Nice - they get better with age.
Man I have Monique since 1991! Top quality.

IT is a beautiful sound.

Very nice presentation! I really like when you get them in tune so quickly!🙂👍
Thank you.
I really like your videos, sir. Keep up the good work...BRAVO !
Cheers my friend.
Thanks mate, great advice for buying a classical guitar. I'm looking at Admira lately and this video really helped.
Glad to hear.
Thanks for the information, and it is great that you tune the guitar on camera. Very fast by the way.
Thank you!
Nice review of admira Malaga guitar.
Thanks!
I subscribed, this is my 4th video--you do a great review.
Thank you so much.
I love the sound, I'd love to have one.
They are readily affordable.
If only I had waited till I saw this, then I could have gotten that made in Spain cedar guitar. That thing is pretty
They are all decent but I prefer the cedar.
I like the sound of the pine top.
Yes, nice guitars.
Admaaiira. We call this kind of guitars "popular guitars" with a humble but charismatic sound.
Still gaining popularity in the US.
@@FlowforthInstruments Yeah they have a great sound for the price. Appart from traditional classical guitar music they are perfect for folk, blues or song writing.
@@josecarlosgarcia2652 Very true!

Yes, these are nice guitars. I have a C9 coming this week - so we'll see how higher end Cordoba stacks up!

You can't lose with any of those - although I slightly prefer the Kremona for build, tone, and price. I'm about to list a nice C5 on my Reverb page.
This is very elemental guitar from admira
Yes, they have higher end models - and I'm hoping to set up an A4 soon.
that guitar does sound good!
Yes - very decent - hope you are well Randy.
Could you please tell - Paloma's top Oregon Pine - solid or laminated?
Solid I believe.
Very useful. What's your opinion on Ortega r122 vs admira Paloma? They're close in price.
So far, I prefer the Admiras I've had to the Ortegas. Especially for these entry level models.
Looking at getting a classical guitar, I am looking at either the malaga or the concerto. What would you suggest?
Both are decent for this price-range. I have a Malaga for sale on my Reverb page if you're interested? Link is in the video description.

It's an excellent guitar - I hope to demo one soon.
Todah rabah. 💙
Cheers!
Those look nice, truss rod?
No - most traditional classicals don't have them.
Do you have any experience with the Admira Juanita? I've got the opportunity to buy a second hand one for quite a cheap price but I can't find any reviews online.
Not yet - I've reviewed 2 or 3 Admira models and hope to look at more in the near future.
Hi great video, I can't decide between the Alhambra 1C and the Admira Malaga, I'm looking for a nice and warm sounding guitar. Can anyone help?
It's very close between those 2 - and very subjective.
I am really confused between Cordoba c7 and Admira A10
Both high end and similar prices. It is just subjective preference - I like both brands.
@@FlowforthInstruments great thankyou..
Hi,
Is it a Spanish guitar brand, but is made in China ?
Please let me know. Thanks
Yes, many European brands make their budget line in Asia and just their top tier guitars locally.
@@FlowforthInstruments I've got a new Admira Malaga guitar, but I don't know how to check it is made in Espana or another country. Please guide me. Thanks !
@@HungLe-yq6ec www.guitarfromspain.com/en/electro-classical-guitars/182-admira-malaga-ec-conservatorio-electro-classical-guitar.html
Yes, thanks
@@HungLe-yq6ec Welcome.
I've got a question,do you have to classical music on a classical guitar??
No - lots of people play other styles on classical guitars. Flamenco, Bosanova, Jazz, Country, Folk... in fact, Willie Nelson's famous 'Trigger' guitar is a classical.
@@FlowforthInstruments and Zac Brown Band too. Them and Willie Nelson are BIG REASONS why I want to buy a classical.
@@kardayahssoulmusic9033 Everybody needs a 'Trigger' in their life.
See the A serie. ARTESANAL SERIE
I will - hope to have an A4 soon.

True but lots of decent guitars are made in China - especially in this price range. Don't let that put you off.
Admayrah. xD
Admira!
Don't worry about the tuning buddy, you tune up very quickly, so, who cares!!....lol
Ha - thanks - I don't worry about too many things!
