This Gewa 1/4 size is a solid choice for younger or smaller students stepping up from fractional sizes. The solid top gives it a surprisingly rich tone, and the overall build quality is excellent for an instrument in this category – it's ready to play and sounds much more mature than you'd expect for a student model.
