Frequently Asked Questions
The Nato neck has a fairly standard, medium-thin profile, which should be manageable for most hand sizes, although a smaller student might prefer something even thinner.
Spruce tops generally offer more brightness and projection; this basswood top provides a warmer, rounder tone, more suited to softer classical pieces.
They’re functional for learning, but replacing the nylon strings with a higher-quality set will noticeably improve the tone and playability.
