Almera - AL100 1/2 Natural

You're buying more than a little guitar, you're buying the joy of playing right the first time: the Almera 1/2 eliminates the number one obstacle for young children - size. This classical guitar comes to them. The body settles in without tilting, the mahogany neck can be tamed by small hands. This is where the music begins, without any prior battle with the instrument.

Listen to the timbre. The solid spruce top responds with immediate clarity to the fingers plucking the Philippe Bosset Prestige nylon strings. These strings, soft as can be, are already mounted. Underneath, the mahogany body acts as a natural amplifier, adding roundness and a hint of sustain. It's a full, encouraging sound that makes you want to play the phrase again.

The merbau fingerboard is smooth. The bridge, made of the same wood, is solid. The high-gloss finish protects against minor damage. This instrument is made to survive the enthusiasm of the early years, whether in the creative clutter of a bedroom or under the watchful eye of a private tutor.

Its real power? Transforming the trial. A basic chord sounds good. A simple melody comes to life. This instant gratification is the fuel of every apprentice musician.
