This is a guitar, but smaller. Same number of rope, tuning in ADGCEA. Roughly like a guitar, but with the sound of a hood in box 5. Therefore more acute. But the fingering, it does not change anything, it's all the same, and that's why I chose this instrument for its size, and the fact that it does not change the game compared to a guitar.

Initially intended to travel light, taking up very little space, allowing me to work anywhere, anytime. Somewhat fragile, not too expensive, small investment for a good peace.

UTILIZATION

The strings are strings classical guitar (nylon), and a folk arriving, I had a little time to adapt my ear as the passage of metal nylon bothered me. And then we made it.
Size is sufficient to work quietly. Of course, do not get too in acute or want to do "too much" with. It is a good guitar "campfire with friends."

The handle is very "quiet", and I will even tend to recommend this instrument for children begin. No need to take the lead with strong gauges boxes, it's really quiet. Playing without force, without getting hurt.

SOUNDS

I would have liked to climb over metal strings for not passing the variation between the three bass and three treble in the sound. The same note played on the 3rd or 4th string chimes do not like. But I did not dare.
Some have mounted with ropes pulling strong nylon, I preferred to keep the medium. But I had to change the original strings after 4 months because the strings are marked in metal frets.
The sound is what is the volume of the guitar. But it is still strong enough that I sometimes put a sock between the strings not to interfere with my camping neighbors.
At home, it's very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it during the holidays, and back to the house, I left on a chair in the living room.
And .. I think ultimately, it's the instrument I play the most.
She is always there on hand. I take my coffee I play. I expect that the noodles cook: I play. I try stuff, I work more. I'm happy and I'm having a super small footprint.

Inevitably, when I look back on my folk, the sound is not the same, and it is not the same pleasure. But for me, the music does not depend on that support. I Susceptible a broomstick with ropes, provided they sound correctly, I amuse myself with. This guitar is better than a broomstick. It is on that if I fart on a trip, I bought one.
I have not taken place since the case for considering the prices, buy a guitar as if it will not, and the cover is easy to store.

Only regret I have not checked the bag, it is stupidly black.
