Altamira - N100 1/2

Designed for first-time classical guitarists, the Altamira N100 1/2 RN is ideal for young musicians starting out with an instrument adapted to their body shape. Its 1/2 size with 540 mm tuning fork makes it easier to hold: the arms are positioned more naturally, the fingers reach the positions more easily, and the student can concentrate on the music rather than the physical effort.

The guitar is distinguished by its solid cedar top, a central element in the production of sound. With each plucked string, this piece of wood vibrates and transmits all the energy of the string. With time and regular practice, these vibrations gradually transform the wood: the top gradually opens up and the timbre gains in depth and richness. The result is a warm, silky tone that is particularly pleasant when working on early classical pieces, etudes or traditional pieces.

The African mahogany neck provides good stability and a comfortable feel under the hand, while the laminated African mahogany back and sides add to the instrument's solidity. The Indian rosewood fingerboard adds precision and fluidity to the playing.

With its high-gloss finish and simple, uncluttered look, the Altamira N100 1/2 RN is both elegant and reassuring. It's a guitar designed to provide the right conditions for learning, and to support the first years of playing with a lively, evolving sound.
