This guitar is an absolute delight! It is very light, with excellent resonance and unbelievably deep and beautiful sound. There is NO other guitar on a market that can compete with this one in price/features... I play and teach classical, jazz and Latin guitar for many years and there is always a challenge to get a student guitar that sounds good, - this one is the best way to go! Make no mistake, this is solid body guitar - it sounds better then any laminated Ramirez/Cordova etc, I’m not even comparing this one to any Yamaha, - hear for yourself! This guitar comes with cedar or spruce top, - get both! Completely different sound and equally striking!! Let put it this way: If you have 2+K to spend on the guitar, - rather buy this Fiesta for the third of the price - Highly recommended!

After playing classical guitar for over a decade, I'm not about to compromise a guitar's quality for a low price. The Fiesta FC has a beautiful and rich tone that resonates in the chest. It projects with wonderful clarity, and responds well to dynamics. Other models I was considering to purchase included the Ramirez R1 and the Antonio Loriente Marieta. They were more expensive than the FC, but price doesn't always equate to quality. In back to back comparisons at a brick-and-mortar store, it was obvious that the Fiesta FC was the guitar with the best sound. Despite the relative obscurity of the Orpheus Valley name when compared to the likes of Ramirez, I could immediately tell this guitar was crafted by masters of the art.

I purchased my Orpheus Valley Fiesta FC classical guitar when I worked for a large independent music store in Colorado. As manager, I had the privilege of getting very familiar with an expansive, expensive, and extremely beautiful inventory of classical guitars. The Fiesta FC was the obvious choice when I wanted to purchase a guitar, considering I could afford it, yet it sounded better than a guitar several times the price. The Fiesta FC has excellent clarity, booming projection, and responds well to varying levels of expression. The perfect combination of a bone nut and saddle, nitrocellulose finish, cedar and rosewood make this guitar as beautiful for the eye to behold as it is to hear. It is the perfect choice for any college guitar major since it is so affordable, yet it is also worthy of professors and performers. After playing the Fiesta FC, I found it much more to my liking than any La Patrie. It surpassed every Yairi and several other hand-made Japanese and Spanish guitars, some of which literally cost 10 times as much. Needless to say, I am still awestruck every time I pick it up, and it is a purchase I shall cherish until my demise.

I bought the Fiesta FS model (with a Spruce top) about a year ago. No one I knew had ever heard of Kremona before, but I predict they'll become well-known as absolutely the best bargain in all solid wood guitars. This is a fine instrument. The tone and projection are superb, there is no fret buzz whatsoever and the craftsmanship is second to none. If it had been made in Spain it would cost more than three times as price. Coming from Bulgaria adds an exotic touch to a really fine piece of work.
