All user reviews for the Yamaha GL1

Hello, I play the guitar (and other instruments for that matter) and intensively for over 30 years, in almost all types of games, I teach in different styles and I still regularly produced with a group of country rock, blues etc.
I bought the little guitarlélé yamaha never to bring some cool guitars become damaged at the other end of the world, not to be bothered by congestion while having an acceptable volume, a play on the handle comfortable accuracy and comfort.
I have no shares in Yamaha or indeed other models of this brand from my 13 guitars, and I must say that the test guitars with Michenaud travels to Nantes which had almost everything in stock, their choice has become all seulpour a price significantly lower than other models.
I also tried other models on Paris rarest does not convince me.
Formats and sounds are disappointing washburn eg for use acoustic and without detailing the other models tested I will not speak for other models twice as expensive, poorly paid, diff playable.
In short, get used to the small size of the handle and be accurate in the game, we can play on an admittedly limited number of spaces but I interpret to the surprise of those around me complete songs in bossa picking or even classic, with a fun color. It is a bit too constrained by the size of the handle bars and limit the use of open chords and unusual voicings.
So I can only recommend him and will soon add a microphone (Fishman presumably).
It must give a tone and a half at least above the guit, the E string becomes a floor, you can do it too 2T and a half over but I find it less origin and is approached over a ukulele .
I wanted to form this view while I write almost never in the forums, to comfort those who wish to acquire an inst of this type and do not understand and want to correct the demolition leaving a little higher as negative an opinion on this charming little instrument that costs only 55 euros and is ideal for what we want in faire.Mais attention, he can be bought instr done wrong or need to be resolved, the action is very low on mine and game quite acceptable with a reserve for large fingers, I have friends or ostriculteurs fishermen who could not get out much spare a note .....
good game at all

Mixture of ukulele tenor / baritone and a 6 string classical guitar, made in china, while plywood with nylon strings for classical (granted ADGCEA)

UTILIZATION

The handle is undoubtedly the weakest point of this instrument ... The pitch corresponding to that of a tenor uke and width at the nut of the shaft is 48 mm (at random, I have not pushed the deputy to measure) it is very difficult to tackle successfully many agreements as boxes are really tiny.



SOUNDS

Considering the materials used could expect a lousy sound, yet not: contrary to all expectations this small object offer sounds very interesting!
One can enjoy playing a bit of everything for this little machine is very amusing ...
Note that it is planning more than a ukulele-solid mahogany Tenor, no less.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost 3 years but uses it very rarely (it almost unplayable unless you have fingers of a child). But traveling is nice to carry around: focusing on agreements that can serve as playable guitar, banjo ukulele see on one little thing not expensive, heavy, not bulky.

The "+" means the ridiculous price (barely half that of an entry-level ukulele), the rich sonic palette, the construction is solid and it is actually possible to leave between a pognes toddler without much fear

The "-": the handle (half of the agreements are unplayable for ordinary human form), the mechanics who do not agree over a quarter of an hour

Considering the price (a carton of smokes), this is a good thing that I would do it eventually ... but hey, for me it's still a toy more than anything else and to make music I like very much my ukulele (a real one, not a stagg) and / or my guitars.

Everything has been said

UTILIZATION

little practical tool has been my birthday ', he has a handle a bit big (I think) but easy to use and very convenient for travel.

on the other hand is true that some agreement is quite hard to reproduce or damage.

-Lightweight
It be easily managed

SOUNDS

really not bad, its good to play without the hassle during the holidays or other ...

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it since yesterday (my birthday), 'I think if I may, I will edit later.

I could not try another model, I wonder if he a. .. y '

So for now, I play every day, since I've had it yesterday.

I find great value for money

and so yes, I do it again this election
