Selected User Reviews For Cordoba C1M 1/2 Small Body Acoustic Nylon String Guitar, Protégé Series

It tasted fantastic
3/5

We've only played it a couple of times a week since we got it about 4 or 5 months ago, but it sounds and looks great. Then something unexpected happened last night. The bridge was completely destroyed. I didn't purchase a protection plan, and it had already expired. We're at a loss for what to do.

A flaw in the design or manufacturing process - [Updated] Excellent customer service
4/5

It appears that I had the same problem as another reviewer. The guitar bridge was shattered into two pieces - When I opened the case after 5 months of very pleasant use, I discovered it this way. There was no shock or specific event that could have triggered this, so it's most likely a design or manufacturing flaw; I've contacted the manufacturer and am awaiting a response. If I receive a response, I will update this comment. br>br>[Update] Excellent customer service - up to four stars After looking at the photo, the manufacturer agreed to send a replacement guitar. Thank you for your help; it is greatly appreciated.

I enjoy playing classical guitar and have had several over the years
5/5

I enjoy playing classical guitars and have owned several that cost several thousand dollars, but a modern standard size guitar measures 650mm from nut to saddle. That's too big for my hand, so I went through a series of smaller guitars until I found this one, which is 580mm in scale. It's the right size for my small hands and still sounds great. I would advise you not to be put off by the low price of this guitar. It's a beautiful instrument.

Well-made, lovely instrument with a pleasant sound - Guitar is 1/2 size
5/5

Update: I decided to exchange this 1/2 size for a 3/4 size because I am an adult beginner who stands at 5'1" and thought the 1/2 would be the best fit for me. However, after tuning it and trying it for a few days, I realized the 3/4 would fit me better and have a louder, more pleasing sound. That is exactly what I did, and I am very pleased with the results. Adults may prefer the 3/4 size, but this model is also available in full size for those who prefer a more powerful sound and can handle the larger size. br>————- br>I took another customer's advice and ordered this guitar from Calido Guitars through Amazon, where they set it up for you before shipping. For a beginner, this is critical. It was also double boxed and meticulously packaged, wrapped, and cushioned. It arrived in a hurry. Because I am a short adult, I needed to be able to reach the strings easily, and nylon strings are easier on the fingers for a beginner. Separately, I purchased a Snark electronic tuner, which made it simple to tune the guitar. The gold gears of Córdoba are amazing. I tried a few other guitars before settling on this one, and these are by far the best, with excellent strings. It's a lovely piece of work. The woods in the spruce and mahogany guitars were superior to those in Yamaha guitars in the same price range. My purchase has made me extremely happy.

It has a lovely sound and is suitable for children
5/5

This Cordova protege C1m 1/2-size guitar not only looks great, but it also sounds great with rich tones. This is the perfect size for my 10-year-old daughter; it's not too small. In my opinion, it falls somewhere between regular 1/2 and 3/4. Later, I'd like to give 1/4 to my five-year-old son. I was thinking about going with a c1, but the c1m has a more comfortable neck and fingerboard. It's a pleasant surprise that it's not too heavy. This guitar has given me a lot of pleasure. There is one minor flaw: there is no gig bag included.

This was an excellent purchase
5/5

This brand was recommended by our local instructor, and while it sounded good the first month, it now sounds incredible three months later. This is something I bought for my six-year-old son. It is an excessively large object. My 9-year-old son appears to be the appropriate size, and my 6-foot-15-year-old daughter enjoys playing it! It's quite lovely. Very well-made! To protect it, I'm going to buy a hard case.

For the price, this is a great sound! Our classical guitar teacher suggested it for our 5-year-old, who had only recently begun lessons
5/5

It does the job, and the sound quality isn't bad for the price; my son likes the design; it's a little big for my 5-year-old, but he'll grow into it. It's worth noting that you'll have to tune it almost every day because it will go out of tune, but that's true of any nylon string instrument.

Excellent Guitar for the Novice! I'm very pleased with the beginner guitar that my 7-year-old's guitar teacher recommended for me to begin with
5/5

He's been taking guitar lessons for a month now, and I'm blown away by the quality for the price!.
