Learn about the Uses and Benefits Relating to the Yamaha C-40
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 8:14 AMBoth 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.
The Yamaha Corporation has dedicated itself to the manufacturing of numerous types of guitars. The production of the Reed Piano in 1887 was their earliest musical instrument. The company is more widely known and world famous for its motorcycles and Guitars. Currently, the terms Spanish Guitar and classical guitar are interchangeable.
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 has fantastic quality with a flawless finish. It seems as though the finish will always be there (probably because there really is no finish). The shape of the body is perfectly aligned to fit my legs thus making it comfortable for me to play. Sturdy is the word I would use to describe the Yamaha C-40. It has fallen on the floor, been hit a number of times with sharp implements, banged into walls; it has been scratched in a few places on the bottom and the finish has a few scratches but it still sounds wonderful. In fact, it sounds just as good today, as it did the very first time I played it. It has been one whole year now since I purchased the Yamaha C-40, and it looks as if it will last for a very long time except for my banging into many things with it. I have not yet played live with my Yamaha C-40, but feel confident that I will in the future and am sure that it will endure.
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.
