UTILIZATION

First look past the shop window, but what is it that the ukulele? uh? This classical guitar? a children's toy? a guitar for the little ones? Yamaha and more. The name is funny, Guitalele!

Well the first test was a revelation for me groping for years with good old ukulele in G, C, E, A and agreements specific to the instrument that do not fit or are lost with the lack of practice.

On this Yamaha, all markers of a classical guitar mini with quality Yamaha prime.Les bases involved are the same as a conventional six-string, but that it slams the fire of God in all what little hope to the ukulele.

The handle is comfortable, silky lacquer hyper speed / comfort for grip, access to the last fret is more difficult, but be careful, all the mini guitar is, so we find again the feeling of a classical nylon string, but with differences similar to an electric cord (less space to put your fingers and access to acute-that-makes sense for the more adventurous.

The ergonomics are excellent, Guitalele that plays like it would hold a guitar without strap, with the pressure of the front right brat, the lightness of the instrument, it is totally comfortable to develop a game bases or ranges (that's where she excels!) strums into agreements (plectrum or fingers in the minutes). The base for all frustrated that have never walked in the ukulele while enjoying the sounds of the machine.

Rendering sound is beautiful, we can turn that guitar of his vocation as a 6 string ukulele.
Flamenque involved or based on ranges / Hispanic or Celtic patterns, it becomes a mandolin, or I do not know what, but something that is more than instruments tradiotionnels Tahitian folklore.

SOUNDS

It will suit anyone who wants to play the ukulele without bother apprendre.Les bases are the same as the guitar, improvisation and imagination do the rest.

OVERALL OPINION

Use since few days, but the first try in the store, something magical is passe.C is a wonderful UFO among the instruments that I like guitar joue.Envisageable travel, delivered in flexible but sturdy black case, it s' take it anywhere even though I think it's better than being made solely for this apsect guitar backup on the go.
The value for money is excellent. Flawless finish, mechanical proper and fair (that is important it does not go out of tune every 2 minutes), a reliable and RIGOLOLéLé!

Most of the pics are not good quality wood and finish.
One word! See and TRY! you may succumb to c'te little beast. MAGIC!
