CS40II

Great little guitar, gives my hands a rest after all the stretching on full sized guitar put some strain on

Yamaha is a brand that manufactures good quality things, and this guitar is one of them, I am a professional guitarist, although this guitar is not the top of the range, instead it is a small guitar for beginners, it has a good sound, it is comfortable, keeps the pitch well, the notes along the fretboard stay in tune, including the high notes. In my case unfortunately the guitar arrived dented, apparently the carrier was not careful enough, and the original guitar box does not protect well, for this incident the seller offered me the option of a good discount or the possibility of returning the item.

I purchased the Yamaha CS40II for my 9-year-old to learn on and am totally satisfied. It's a well-made, lightweight 3/4 size guitar, making it perfect for my son who carries it on his back during the school run. Also, it's quite low action, so really easy for a beginner to play. I disagree with some of the reviews on here; this guitar DOES stay in tune REALLY WELL but it takes 2 or 3 weeks to stabilise. After that, it's brilliant, with only slight tuning needed as you would expect with any guitar. Definitely recommended by me.

sold my guitalle to step up to this as I didn't want a full sized Guitar and couldn't play the Guitalle lower down the neck due to big fingers I get on well with this with only occasional string buzzing - so i Have to be extremely accurate with my finger positioning - getting better at this the more I practice love the sound and finding it easier to play than when I had a full sized Classical but that is just me and the lazy fingers I have because I find it easier I tend to practice more than I did before so Obviously Im progressing better (not everybody in the family would agree) I considered cheaper 3/4 sized guitars but I can say I am glad I paid the extra and when with this, it looks nice and sounds good

On the plus side, this is a relatively inexpensive guitar and a good start for young beginners aged between 9 and 12. It seems reasonably well constructed and is aesthetically pleasing. No obvious Yamaha branding on the exterior, although there is a branded sticker below the soundhole. The sound overall is pleasant and the action is such as to not make it too difficult for a young player with small hands. On the negative side there are no position markers, bar one on the top side above the 7th fret but none at all on the fretboard itself. This might prove a hindrance to learning as time goes on, but perhaps not a major deal breaker. Another slight letdown is the fact there is no strap button on the base, or heel, of the guitar. While the absence of a strap button is common for many classical guitars it would have been prudent to provide one, at least on the base, even if one is generally seated when playing such an instrument. On the whole a reasonably priced instrument with a pleasant sound. But as some reviewers point out, you get what you pay for.

Top of the top!!! Great guitar… great setup… thank you… I am planning for last 30 years. I bought this guitar for my son for guitar lessons ar school… sounds better than my few £500 guitars… thank you!!!

I have small paws for an adult male. I found some chords on a full-sized guitar really painful. So why struggle? This 3/4 size is just the ticket for me, and the finish on the instrument is superb. I am no stranger to Yamaha musical instruments and am continually impressed with their attention to detail. If you are looking for a quality instrument for a young adult, or an adult with small hands, then I highly recommend this guitar. Well done Yamaha.

well made, sounds good, but old age, fat fingers, and arthritis prevented me from using it

Lange hatte ich gezögert und hin und her überlegt, ob ich mir als erwachsener Anfänger diese Gitarre in der kleineren Größe 3/4 kaufen soll, oder durch die kleinere Größe nicht zu sehr auf Klang verzichte. Aber nun bin ich begeistert. Die Verarbeitung ist hervorragend, die Lackierung und Farbe sensationell schön, aber was mich begeistert, ist der wunderschöne Klang, den ich bei dem Preis wahrlich nicht erwartet hatte. Sie lässt sich gut stimmen, obwohl ich die Gitarre in den ersten Tagen erst noch etwas akklimatisieren lasse. Das bin ich auch so von der Geige gewohnt, dass Temperatur- und Luftfeuchtigkeitsunterschiede die Stimmung beeinflussen und man da zunächst einmal mehrfach nachstimmen muss. Das ist also alles ganz im normalen Bereich. Mit den Wirbeln lassen sich die Saiten sehr angenehm leicht stimmen und halten die Stimmung auch gut. Jetzt müssen also nur noch meine Fähigkeiten besser werden, damit ich diesem wunderbaren Instrument auch gerecht werde. P.S.: Ich bin als Erwachsene nur ca. 162 cm groß und ich bin wirklich froh, dass ich mich von den geteilten Rückmeldungen bei den Fragen nicht zu einer größeren 7/8 oder 4/4-Gitarre habe verleiten lassen. Ich hätte gar keine Chance, ein größeres Instrument richtig zu erlernen. Selbst die 3/4-Form fühlt sich für mich durchaus noch sehr groß an. Und einen Klangverlust durch die kleinere Gitarren-Größe kann ich bei dem wunderbaren Klang meines Instruments nun wirklich nicht feststellen.

It's very nice

Bespeelbaarheid is licht, de hals is smal, dus geschik voor beginners en kinderen. Het geluid is in orde en zuiver. De bouw is keurig. Yamaha bouwt altijd goede instrumenten en stelt nooit teleur, je kan er op vertrouwen. De prijs kwaliteitsverhouding is goed. Ik speel 55 jaar gitaar.

Ottima prima chitarra da studio. Al primo saggio di chitarra di mio figlio, anche un profano si accorgeva del suono migliore rispetto ad alternative economiche. Super qualita'/prezzo

AMOOOOO MI PRIMERA GUITARRA!!! 🥰🥰🥰 La calidad es excelente, se nota que es original y la calidad japonesa NO FALLA! Suena muy bonito y fuerte, aún soy principiante pero se nota la buena calidad para el precio que tiene. Definitivamente recomiendo comprarte una buena guitarra como esta si vas a empezar, te va a durar muchísimo!! Esta la súper recomiendo!! Y la medida es perfecta ya que es 3/4, eso la hace más cómoda y más bonita 😊💖
