Yamaha C40 Classical Guitar

The Yamaha C-40 concert guitar was considered for decades to be the first recommendation for beginners and even advanced players. In contrast to many other instrument in the budget price segment, Yamaha offers with this concert guitar a truly exceptional and unmatched price/performance ratio, which has been trusted by music schools, guitar teachers and parents for decades.

Impeccable craftsmanship and the typical appointments of a concert guitar make the C40 interesting not only for beginners. The spruce top produces a harmonic sound character, while robust, quality tuners ensure tuning stability. Even the surprisingly flat string action guarantees a particularly soft playability.

The ergonomically shaped Nato neck is equipped with a rosewood fretboard with 18 frets and is very comfortable, especially for the early stages of learning. The masterfully crafted fretboard binding as well as the nut and bridge allow for a flat and low string action.

The C-40 was initially equipped with a spruce top, a wood popular for its clear and brilliant highs and powerful mids. The back and sides of the sides are from Meranti, a tropical hardwood similar to mahogany. The result is that the Spruce sound is complemented by warm sound image with strong mids. Regardless if strumming or finger picking: The C-40 is fun for everyone!
