Best value: Excellent
it's Yamaha, that is to say, a good value for money:
I guess Asian manufacturing, well finished product, it looks like a toy but it is not one!

UTILIZATION

in short: you take a classical guitar, you put a capo 5th box, you reduce the cash format ukulele and you get ..... one Guitalele (tadaaamm!)
it has the sound close to the ukulele, but with six strings and it plays it like a guitar. with its handle (profile C slightly U), it is comfortable you become familiar to the small size in 5 minutes. if you're a guitarist you will not get lost with this tuning.

SOUNDS

this is like slamming a ukulele, with its small sound box closed, very nice, not aggressive tout.cela well suited to the accompaniment of song, but also to lead (range, agreement, psychedelic experimentation. etc. ..).
finger or pick, anything is possible, the small size is not a handicap, the handle is comfortable and accessible at any point.
the holding of the agreement and correct (that is to say that I re-grant no more than 2 times per half hour of play!).

OVERALL OPINION

excellent product, innovative, practical, fun.
I wanted to try the ukulele, but I do not want to learn a new instrument. Guitalele is the ideal compromise.
comes with its (small) carry bag is super friendly, it takes anywhere.
for the price, we do not take any chances.
I repeat, this is not an ordinary toy, it's a real instrument which has the advantage of dice that caused the fate smiles on the cover!

try it
