Yamaha GL1 Guitalele - Black  

Yamaha

Yamaha was founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Japan when he made his first acoustic organ. Yamaha was very passionate and soon started making pianos and grand pianos. He was the first in Japan to make pianos. In its development process, this progression and innovation was always present. Through the past century and a half, the company has expanded enormously towards all kinds of instruments. Their first acoustic guitar hit the market in the 1960s, and they have been constantly improving and innovating instruments ever since. The innovation that Torakusu Yamaha contained is still visible in Yamaha's instruments today.

Guitalele

The Guitalele is the ideal classical guitar for travellers and children. The instrument is called the Guitalele, which also references the popular ukulele, but only the size of the instrument is derived from the ukulele. The Guitalele has six strings, just as a regular guitar, but is tuned from the fifth fret, like a regular guitar with a capo on the fourth fret. This means that the tuning is ADGCEA. You can thus use the same chords as you would with a standard guitar but it will be transposed higher. The Guitalele will be delivered with a gig bag so it’s easy to transport.
