A 1/2 classical guitar is a scaled-down version of a traditional classical guitar, making it ideal for beginners and young students. Due to its compact size, it is specifically designed for children aged approximately 5 to 8 years, depending on their height and hand span. To support young aspiring guitarists, we offer a selection of affordable yet high-quality beginner guitars that perfectly accompany students through their first lessons.
Thanks to a shorter scale length (the length of the vibrating strings) of approximately 530 to 580 mm, children find it easier to press the strings and hold the guitar. Additionally, the body width and depth are generally smaller compared to a full-size guitar, providing a more comfortable playing experience.
It is important for parents or teachers to consider the child's size when selecting a beginner guitar. A guitar that is too large can lead to frustration and slow learning progress, whereas a properly sized instrument encourages learning and ensures an ergonomic and enjoyable playing experience. It is highly recommended that children hold and try out the instrument beforehand to ensure they can develop the correct techniques without struggling with an ill-fitting guitar.
