音は大きくはないですが、夜中に部屋で静かに弾くには大変良い音です。また、わたしは指が短いのでとても弾きやすいです。

キャンプ用に買いました。小さくてかわいい。軽い。 ボディが小さいので音も当然小さいです。チューニングも通常のギターとは違います。自宅で弾く分には、通常サイズのギターが断然いいです。でも手頃だし、屋外にも気軽に持ち運べるギターがほしい人はぜひ一緒にこちらを弾きましょう。キャンプで弾けるのが楽しみ。

姿見は良 音色はウクレレでした ちょっと予想と違う もう少しギターよりの音と思っていたのですが完全にウクレレでした サイズ感はテナーウクレレと同じ(写真添付) 感覚的に合格 成長して音に深みが出る事を期待する 生産国もインドネシアである事は多分中国製と諦めていたので朗報 品質的に信用信頼に足りる 最良 しばらく(30年くらい?)楽器の購入をしたことがなかったので最近の事情や市場はよく知らないが価格の割りに仕上げが良い 流石YAMAHA三連音叉は伊達ではない エンジン屋さんでは無い......ハズ 久しぶりに若返った気になった 孫へのプレゼントのつもりだったが自分用にもう一つ買おうか?

届いてから、チューニング。 ナイロン弦は安定するまで時間かかりますが、パッと手に取れるサイズなので、 毎日ポロポロ弾いていればすぐ安定すると思います。 普通のギターの感覚だとフレット間が狭くて弾きにくいと感じる人もいるかもしれませんが、個人的にほあまり気になりませんでした。

開梱時、ギターと違ってフレットが狭く弾きづらかったので、あまり弾くことはないかもと、買ったことを後悔しました。しかし、翌日にはウクレレっぽい音色に病みつきとなり、また小ぶりさのため、ギターよりも気軽に手に取って弾いてしまいます。車で持ち運んであちこちの野外で楽しもうと考えてます。

屋外のバーベキューに持参するために購入。 チューニングして音の狂いも無く使えてます。 傍らに置いて、しょっちゅう弾いています。 新しい相棒

中古品「非常に良い」で セールで8200円で買いました! リサイクルショップで売っててもこの値段は絶対値付けるでしょう! まず大前提でYAMAHAということもあり すごく凄く弾きやすいです! 弦高も高くなく弾きやすいですね、 気分でポロッと弾くのにはちょうどいいです! ソフトケースもめちゃくちゃしっかりしてます! このレビュー見たなら買うしかないでしょう!

ケースから開けてみると状態はよい ただ問題は持ってみてから。 まず、フレットや指板がしっかりと加工されていない。 軽く弦をチョーキングしてみるとガリガリしてなめらかにプレイすることができない。 なのでヤスリがけをしてみるとスムーズにできました。 音はなかなか良い音がでます。 私は主にギターを弾きますが初心者からでも十分楽しむことができると思います。 パワーコードなど指が硬くて抑えられないという方はこちらで練習してもありだと思います。 もし購入するのであれば、簡易なヤスリがけを覚悟していてください。 なかなかいい楽器をもつことができました。

Bought this guitalele and my expectations were justified. It very comfortable small guitar for travel and training for me. Sound very good: include all frets and play chords. My variant has few scratches but for me it is not a problem and I think in common quality is good. Also it has good price. When I use it tune it to E (recommended A) and it’s sound good, string tension also normal with it.

What I received is very good product, tuning & intonation is perfect, very good for beginners, sound is good, weight is light, easy to carry, you can get ukele in lesser price, but here you get all 6 strings with the sound of ukelele(almost) so, this is value for money.

69 year old guitar hack here. Played electric, and some acoustic guitar in three bands way back in the 1970's. Played acoustic at a wedding. My neighbor bought a Yamaha GL-1 "guitalele" A few years ago, and told me recently that he loves it! A GL-1 is basically a very compact 6 string classical guitar, but, instead of being tuned Eadgbe, it is tuned 5 frets up on each string, so the low and high e's become a's. This means that all the chord shapes I know on a regular guitar can be played in the same positions, but the name of the chord will be different. Example, an e major chord shape on a guitar, will really be an a major on the Yamaha. If I am just playing by myself for myself, there is no problem. If I was to play along with a regular guitar, we would have to work out what key to play in. Also, if I sing and play, then depending on what key I play in, I would have to sing in higher notes. This thing came quicky to me in Hawaii, and it is in perfect condition! Since it had nylon/classical type strings, it is going to take much longer for the strings to settle down and stop sretching. Way longer than my steel stringers. So, don't write a review after a few days complaining about this. All classical style nylon string guitars do this! Pick it up,tune it, play it, and keep tuning it. The tuners on mine seem just fine. It is a total blast for me to play. It sounds great, especially for the small body size. It has very good volume and sustain too. A bit stingy on the fret markers, both on the fingerboard and side of the neck. If you have big fingers, some chording might be a bit crowded. It doesn't have a truss rod. But, many classical guitars and many other guitaleles don't have them either. I have yet to read a review, or watch a video review, where the owner had a neck warp. In short, I should have bought one of these long ago. Update after more than a year now. I still love this little 6 stringer! I have been selling some of my amps and ukes etc. I had considered selling my Yamaha, but cannot do it! It is just such a great insrument. Mine is still perfect. Drawbacks? Few. The 17" scale is a bit tight for me. One string started unravelling after not too much playing. I was able to buy the one string and replaced it. I read a review somewhere where the writer returned his due to various flaws. Looking at mine it's hard to believe. I think Yamaha should make an option of the GL-1 that would come with an under saddle pickup with tuner and volume/tone controls. Great price, great instrument, great FUN!! 2/28/2025 update: Just wanted to say my estimation of this instrument has gone up if anything. I am taking super good care of it. It us holding up great. I had one of the wound strings start to unravel early and replaced it. Zero problems. After break in it holds tune as good or better than my other string instruments. That alone is saying a lot. The climate here in the Puna District on the big island plays he'll with stringed instruments. Most go sharp sitting overnight, and flat sitting during the day. This little guy is built very well. I wish it had come with an active pickup with tuned and equalizer, but it's still a keeper!
