Yamaha classical guitars incorporate three decades of accumulated knowledge and expertise in building nylon-strung instruments. Quality materials throughout and the dedication of the company’s skilled craftsmen means that those on a modest budget no longer have to put up with a second rate instrument. This classical guitar by Yamaha has a Spruce top for a lively sound, and a sturdy construction that makes it ideal for surviving the hazardous journeys to and from school!
Quality components on the Yamaha guitar include the chrome tuning machines, which have a nice and smooth action. In comparison with other budget nylon strung guitars, this one makes life a lot easier when it comes to tuning up, and a well tuned instrument is going to sound better too. The neck and Rosewood fingerboard are easy to get to grips with, and although classical guitars have a broad nut width, it takes little effort to fret the strings.
Nylon strung guitars are much softer on the fingers than steel strung acoustic guitars, making them an ideal choice for children and beginners learning to play. The well polished frets and fretboard also add to the playability of this guitar, allowing the development of new techniques. This Yamaha has a sturdy Rosewood bridge that is sure to maintain accurate grip on the strings, and make for hassle free string changes.
The Yamaha C40 and CS40 have a smooth glossy coating that provides protection for the wood underneath, and it’s easy to clean too. The traditional looks are due to the slotted headstock and the dark grain of Meranti wood for the back and sides. The soundhole is decorated with a rosette in keeping with the style of the guitar, and the headstock is also decorated with four carved notches. A dark binding runs around the face and back of the C40.
The Yamaha C40 would make an ideal guitar to learn on due to its reliability and easy playability. With its compact body and short 580mm scale length, the inexpensive Yamaha CS40 is designed with comfort in mind for the young learner who would find a full-size instrument too cumbersome. If you are intending on taking lessons in the guitar then it is essential to start with a quality instrument, as any compromise here will hinder your development of musical skills. This classical guitar offers quality you can rely on at a reasonable price.
