The classical guitar is distinguished from the acoustic guitar by its nylon strings (softer to the touch, warm sound, suitable for classical music, flamenco, or as a first guitar for children) — unlike the metal strings of the acoustic guitar. Size is the most important factor when choosing a classical guitar for children: 1/8 and 1/4 for ages under 6, 1/2 for ages 6-8, 3/4 for ages 9-11, 7/8 for pre-teens, and 4/4 (full size) from around 12 years old and for adults — a guitar that is too large can discourage a child from practicing, so it is worth checking the correct size before ordering. There are also left-handed versions available in the adjacent category. Hora Reghin, a Romanian brand, is the best-selling in the store — the Student Classic and Laura series offer very good value for money in all sizes, from a local manufacturer. Yamaha's C40 series is the reference choice for those wanting a slightly more advanced guitar with superior wood and finish. For children, the colorful VGS Basic Classic series is an affordable and visually appealing option. For those who want to play amplified, the category also includes electro-classical guitars with built-in preamps. Over 400 products, from beginner guitars to advanced models.
