Sound and General Feel	These beautiful instruments are professionally set up and fine tuned by Ron Fernandez for maximum performance The end result is superior! This Spruce instrument has all the characteristics you want in Baroque and Classical performance. An outstanding performance instrument, certainly perfect for the advanced student, I myself am happy to own one of these. The Esteve and Adalid 9C/B models are identical, built from the same woods, bracings, luthiers, etc. The only difference is the label within. This guitar is very sweet sounding, not too bright, and very warm with excellent sustain and a loudness that is really surprising.
Projection	Outstanding! A very powerful instrument - due to the quality woods, construction and/or the carbon bracing, you have to be prepared for a guitar that simply blows you away. A better value for the money may simply not exist.
Comments	This particular guitar is very powerful, very loud, and super sweet. What's scary is that the spruce top has yet to mature. Very easy to play because of its perfect after-market setup, the guitar simply sings with the player allowing you to evoke pretty much what you want out of her. This is one of the nicest instruments for the money I've had the pleasure to play. btw...she records like a dream.
