Altamira - N300 7/8 RN

The Altamira N300 7/8 RN is in that all-important zone where the guitarist begins to move beyond the first automatic steps into real musical work. The 7/8 format plays a key role here: less cumbersome than a 4/4, but serious enough to support real progress without giving the impression of a 'reduced' instrument.

From the very first notes, the guitar offers a supple, direct response. The solid cedar top responds easily, helping you to understand the link between the precision of the right hand and the quality of the sound. You can quickly tell whether the attack is clean or overdriven, making it a great teaching aid for developing consistency.

The Indian rosewood back and sides give a wider base in the lower register, resulting in a balanced sound that's equally pleasing in arpeggios and simple chords. Nothing is exaggerated, and everything remains legible, which is important in a learning phase where every detail counts.

The African mahogany neck has a stable, comfortable feel, suitable for growing hands or musicians looking for a little more ease of movement. With its 636 mm scale, this N300 is close to the feel of a standard classical guitar, but with a little more flexibility.
