yamaha C40 classical guitar review. Best guitar in the world! For beginners.
I am not a great fan of Yamaha electric guitars even though I do not dispute they make some fine models at all price ranges but their acoustics and nylon strung instruments are remarkable at the budget end of the market. Really remarkable! The C40 is the best guitar in the world pound for pound in my opinion even though the competition out there is tough. Yamaha do incredible budget steel string acoustics too so check them out.
The C40 is a truly great cheap guitar. Even though I have more expensive ones I play this one the most. Its such a good workhorse and will never let you down. I hope my demo illustrates how it can be used for all level of pieces and situations.
To do the demo I used ...

    This is the workhorse of classical guitars. Sounds good, plays well and if your grandkid knocks it over, you won't bust a spring.

    This was one of the reviews that convinced me to buy this least expensive of Yamaha classical guitars. I wonder if "Mike Paradiso" will ever read my (or anyone's) comment? He seems to be one of those all too common "RUclips Ghosts" who make a few really nice videos (in this case only one, and as I write this, over 11 years ago). Then never release another video, never reply to a comment or acknowledge a complement, and give no other contact information on their channel. Mike, I hope you just decided video production isn't for you, and nothing bad has happened to you to explain your absence.

    I totally agree with you. It's the best student guitar. You can use that guitar up to grade 6 without any problem. I have got one myself and I have several concert guitars to compare it against. I have never felt frustrated playing it even after playing my concert guitars. That's how good it is.

    The fellow can actually play and I recognized the pieces. I had a luthier built high-quality all solid woods guitar once from a luthier to Lindy Fralin and Marija Temo... and I have kept a Cordoba Fusion 12 Orchestra. A C40 older Yamaha can sometimes be found and shipped to cost you maybe $40-60 and that is cheap for a well-made factory guitar. A luthier-built solid woods guitar will be easily $2500-3000 new. See? And you can always sell off a Yamaha C40 and get all or most all of your money back fast...

    This guitar has fairly predictable and balanced tone compared to a lot of the cheap models, which promotes proper technique. It also offers decent playability for the price. I want to sell mine because I am good and knowledgeable enough notice the difference a great guitar makes, but this will serve most beginners for probably the first 1000 hours of playing depending on the rate of improvement.

  • @jgrossma
    @jgrossma 7 лет назад

    As a beginner guitar, C40 is GREAT. Tuners are functional, frets are good, intonated saddle, dot side markers and good setup. Out of the box, this is ready to go and at its price level, this one beats anything else I've tried (and I've tried MANY). I will add that the strings it comes with are terrible and will need to be replaced shortly (cost <$10). IMO, biggest drawback of this guitar is that its got no volume or projection worth speaking off, and the tone is just poor. Better than other $100 guitars. . .but still poor. For a beginner, you can't go wrong with this. If you want a "beater" or just "a" classical to mess around with again. . .this is good. A "serious" classical guitar student who has more than 2 years playing time will want something with better tone and responsiveness.

    • @jgrossma
      @jgrossma 7 лет назад

      Its low at both nut and bridge sides. Low enough that its super easy to play and you won't need to adjust it (I didn't. . .and I usually do). Honestly, I've played guitars that cost literally 10-50x what this one does that weren't set up as nicely. I'll see if I can dig mine out and give you the exact numbers, but from memory this was dead on 4mm/3mm at 12th fret for strings 6 and 1.
