Description

Essential Information About the OC170 Occitania Classical Guitar

  • Solid Red Cedar Top: quick attack, rich midrange, and natural warmth for classical playing.
  • Open-pore satin finish: more authentic wood feel and livelier response.
  • Fan bracing: balanced and dynamic projection suited to fingerstyle nuances.
  • Versatile: comfortable with classical repertoire, traditional music, and South American-inspired styles.

An "Occitania" Classical Designed for Comfort and Expression

The OC170 Occitania Classical emphasizes what many nylon-string guitarists seek: lutherie that prioritizes musicality and touch. Its natural aesthetic and satin finish allow the wood to "breathe" more, with a pleasant feel ideal for working on right-hand placement and articulation finesse.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This 4/4 classical guitar is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an expressive instrument to progress, as well as those looking for a warm tonal color for accompaniment and arpeggio playing. It is particularly suited to styles where roundness and midrange are central: classical, traditional, soft flamenco (excluding very percussive approaches), and Latin/South American repertoires.

The Sound

The solid red cedar soundboard delivers a naturally warm and round tone, with a very pleasant quick response to the finger, especially in the midrange. The khaya back and sides contribute to overall balance and clear note definition, while the fan bracing promotes projection and dynamic flexibility (useful for moving from pianissimo to more forceful playing). The open-pore satin finish enhances the natural feel and can support freer vibration, often resulting in a more direct attack and musical sustain on chords.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the character of the instrument, favor nylon string sets for 4/4 classical guitars (scale length 25.59" / 650 mm). The model comes factory-equipped with Savarez 510 MRJ Creation Cantiga mixed tension strings, a reliable base to retain the original touch and tension balance.
