A classical guitar with rich cedar warmth and rosewood depth.
The Alvarez CYM75 Yairi Masterworks nylon-string classical acoustic guitar represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship in classical instruments. Handcrafted in the renowned K. Yairi factory in Kani, Japan, this guitar reflects over 80 years of tradition and expertise. Its solid AAA Western Red Cedar top delivers a warm, resonant tone, ideal for expressive classical performances. Paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar produces a balanced sound with rich low-end depth and clear high-end sparkle. Every detail, from the hand-carved braces to the spoke-shaved neck, is meticulously crafted to enhance tone and playability. Featuring an ebony fingerboard and rosewood bridge, the CYM75 offers smooth playability and precise intonation, making it a standout for classical guitarists seeking a premium instrument.
AAA Western Red Cedar Top For Warm, Resonant Tone
The solid AAA Western Red Cedar top of this classical acoustic guitar is carefully selected for its tonal richness and responsiveness. Known for its ability to produce warm, mellow tones, cedar excels in delivering the depth and nuance required for classical and fingerstyle playing. The top is finely tuned by hand to optimize resonance and projection, ensuring each note is articulate and expressive. Seasoned naturally and finished with a high-gloss coating, the cedar top enhances both the aesthetic and tonal qualities of the instrument. This attention to detail ensures a vibrant, consistent sound that responds beautifully to every touch.
Solid East Indian Rosewood Back And Sides For Balanced Sound
This model features solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, offering a tonal foundation of clarity and balance. Rosewood is prized for its ability to produce warm lows, defined mids, and bright trebles, creating a versatile and well-rounded sound profile. The solid construction enhances resonance, while the natural grain patterns bring visual elegance to the instrument. Each piece of rosewood is hand-selected and matched to complement the cedar top, ensuring a harmonious blend of tonal characteristics. The result is a classical guitar that offers depth and clarity for intricate compositions and dynamic performances.
Handcrafted Bracing For Optimal Resonance
The CYM75 features a hand-carved bracing system designed to maximize the tonal potential of its solid wood construction. Crafted from quartersawn spruce, the braces are meticulously shaped to transfer vibrations efficiently across the cedar top, enhancing sustain and projection. The bracing system is finished by hand to achieve the perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility, ensuring the guitar responds dynamically to subtle changes in picking or strumming. This detailed approach provides the player with a responsive instrument capable of delivering exceptional tonal clarity and richness.
Ebony Fingerboard And Bone Nut For Precision Playability
The ebony fingerboard on this classical guitar offers a smooth, fast playing surface that enhances comfort and precision. Ebony is prized for its hardness and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance while delivering clear tonal articulation. Paired with a bone nut and saddle, this model achieves optimal string vibration transfer and intonation accuracy. The combination of these premium materials creates a playing experience that is both effortless and refined, allowing players to focus entirely on their musical expression. These features ensure the CYM75 performs consistently at a professional level.
