Detail 01
Solid cedar top
Warmer and darker than spruce, and it sounds mature immediately rather than needing years of playing in.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Solid cedar-top nylon-string classical from Kremona's Bulgarian shop, at a price that puts it with serious players and advancing students.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classical or flamenco players working through repertoire seriously
- Fingerstyle players wanting a warm, thick, round nylon voice
- A step up from a laminate-top student classical
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Steel-string players — nylon strings and a wide flat neck feel foreign
- Left-handed players, this is right-handed only
- Anyone wanting bright, cutting attack rather than warmth
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
25.6" scale length
Standard classical scale. String tension is moderate and stretches are wide compared to an electric.
Detail 03
19 frets
Normal for classical. Upper frets sit over the body and are awkward to reach past the 12th.
Detail 04
Thin polyurethane finish
Lets the top move more freely than a thick gloss, so it stays resonant while resisting dings better than French polish.
Detail 05
Honduran mahogany neck
Stable and moderately dense, which helps the neck stay put through humidity swings.
Detail 06
Flat body, no cutaway
Traditional classical shape. No shortcut to the high frets and no bevel, so lap position matters.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nylon strings, not steel — never fit steel strings to this guitar
- 02No pickup, so amplifying it needs a soundhole or clip-on pickup
- 03Solid cedar moves with humidity; keep it cased with a humidifier
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good first classical guitar?
It's more guitar than a first-year student needs at $2,799. It suits someone already committed to classical or flamenco who wants an instrument to keep.
02Does it have a pickup or electronics?
No. It's purely acoustic. You'd add an aftermarket soundhole or clip-on pickup, or mic it, to play amplified.
03Cedar or spruce top — what's the difference here?
Cedar is the warmer, rounder, fuller option and sounds open from day one. Spruce is brighter with more headroom and opens up over years.
04Where is it made?
Bulgaria, in Kremona's own workshop.
