3/4 classical guitars

Looking for a reliable 3/4-sized children's guitar ? Here you'll discover all about the advantages, uses, and the best choices for young talent.

Why choose a 3/4 classical guitar?

The 3/4 guitar is specially designed for children who have outgrown a 1/2 guitar but are not yet ready for a full-size 4/4 classical guitar . This intermediate size offers:

• More playing comfort for smaller hands and shorter arms
• A lighter body, ideal for children to hold
• Sufficient tone quality for lessons, practice and fun

Nylon strings offer a softer playing feel than steel-string guitars. This prevents sore fingers and makes practicing much more enjoyable.

When to switch to a larger size?

As a child grows taller or develops larger hands, they will eventually need a larger guitar. The transition usually proceeds as follows:

• 6–8 years: 1/2 classical guitar
• 8–11 years: 3/4 classical guitar
• 11–13 years: 7/8 guitar
• From 12 years: 4/4 guitar
