Learn to examine the Research and Assets of the Yamaha C-40

By Rolland Bruno


Both young learners as well as beginners will be happy with the quality of the Yamaha C-40 series of classical guitars. The Yamaha C-40 instruments are quite affordable but provide a superb tone, excellent performance and wonderful playability. The C Series are instruments that are full-sized that provide the high level of quality for which Yamaha is world renowned.

This is in fact, a classical guitar, not an acoustic guitar but as there are no reviews on this site, we will put it in the category of acoustics. This guitar contains 19 frets with 20 for the E strings which cannot be played and because it is a classical guitar, it has strings of nylon. It is attractive as normal dark wood seems to be what the body is made to look like. It looks just like a normal classical guitar. I believe that there is a gig bag incorporated if the "starter kit" is purchased but the guitar was the only item that I decided to buy.

The one thing that an individual cannot judge without holding the Yamaha C-40 in their hands is the action. This is the combination of the height of the strings over the fretboard and the tension of those strings. The head of the guitar might be pulled upwards, if the strings are taut (12 string guitar or steel strings), causing the strings to be farther from the fretboard. The player would then need to have very strong fingers to depress the strings in order to make clear sounding notes. Very low action is required on a steel string guitar that is tightly strung or it will be unplayable. Action that is too low, however, will have vibrating strings hitting on the frets longer than required, thus spoiling the guita'rs true sound. Because classical guitars have soft strings and lower tension, this is a far smaller problem with them. Even if the strings are set high, the player will rarely have problems bringing them down to the frets.

The Yamaha C-40 is the latest classical guitar produced by the highly reputable company in the music industry, Yamaha, and the price is very reasonable. Materials such as rosewood, spruce and mahogany have been assembled by craftsmen from Yamaha to construct an instrument with wonderful tonal quality and playability. It will encourage and inspire a player to practice and rehearse repeatedly, day after day! Classical guitar craftsmen from Yamaha, learned directly from masters such as Eduardo Ferrer and Manuel Hernandez, the exquisite art of guitar making. With their training, Yamaha guitar craftsmen attained the skills passed down through generations from master guitar maker to apprentice guitar maker. All this acquired expertise, is put to use on a daily basis in the construction of the Yamaha C-40 classical guitars.

The Yamaha C-40 corresponds with every style. The Yamaha C-40 beats, conquers and defeats the Jasmine at every turn. It has only been one year since I started playing and this classical Yamaha C-40 was the first guitar I played. It does not need to be tuned for very long periods of time. Had I checked before buying as to whether or not the purchase included a gig bag, I would have saved myself the additional expense of approximately $30, Canadian. All in all, however, I am satisfied with my Yamaha C-40 as it is gorgeous, sounds wonderful and is comfortable to play. Although I decided on my Yamaha C-40 based on the advise of the sales man because I had no inspiration on what to buy, I will never feel sorry about my choice.
