Like anything, you can spend a crazy amount of money on a Concert Guitar..
A Cadet size is comfortable and still has a 650mm scale length..
I'd stick with a cheap model and always keep it for practicing.. I actually put old shirts inside the guitar so it isn't so loud as to not disturb anyone.
Expensive guitars are louder. Cedar Tops are warmer and Spruce is brighter. I've never owned a Spruce tho..

lol shirt in it never thought of that , got lucky and found a 45r with a hard case you know the made in Spain versions it sounds good for 300 bucks should suffice till I turn pro but yes thanks didn’t think tops made a tonal difference thought it was only neck that did

For classical it’s the other way around. Tops are the most important part for tone (also internal bracing design), while the neck makes more subtle tonal differences in comparison. Many cheaper classical guitars use pine for the top instead of spruce, cedar or redwood, but it can still be ok depending on the guitar

Antonio De Torres I think it was (first fan braced guitars) used to joke that he could make the rest of the guitar out of paper mache as long as the top itself was good. Not exactly true, but you get the point

Looks like you scored for the price.

Kremona makes what you need. You want to use one made of solid woods, mine is a satin finish called a Sofia. Not the ultra mega but may fit your needs.
