Everything You Need to Start Playing Guitar!
Perfect for beginners and advanced players! Whether for music lessons, band rehearsals, live on stage or around the campfire, this guitar will bring you joy everywhere. Here you get an excellent guitar at an unbeatable price. See for yourself!
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 – The Perfect Beginner or Second Instrument
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 is ideally suited for guitar beginners. With a scale length of 55 cm, the instrument is perfectly tailored for children around 5 to 9 years old. Of course, adult beginners also benefit from the easy playability of the AS-851.
Selected Materials – Clean Craftsmanship
Only carefully selected materials are used for AS-851 guitars. The laminated top and body produce a beautiful, warm tone, and the neatly crafted bridge transmits string vibrations in detail even with a gentle finger touch. The smooth tuning machines also ensure optimal tuning stability.
A Sound That Speaks for Itself!
Especially for beginners, it is important that learning is enjoyable. A guitar must not only be functional to guarantee optimal learning success, but the sound must also not be neglected. The AS-851 models provide expressive tone for lots of fun and allow a good assessment of your own playing style.
Classic Look
The AS-851 impresses visually with its light natural top and dark tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, beautiful decorated tuning machines, and subtle headstock complete the overall look.
Which Guitar Size Is Right?
The scale length indicates the size of a guitar—or more precisely the vibrating string length between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm, corresponding to a full-size 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are smaller and therefore recommended for children and youth.
Our Recommendations for Scale Length Matching Age and Body Size:
| 1/4 Size | Age 4 to 7 years | Height up to 110 cm | Scale approx. 47-49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 Size | Age 5 to 9 years | Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale approx. 53-55 cm |
| 3/4 Size | Age 8 to 11 years | Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale approx. 59-62 cm |
| 7/8 Size | Age 10 to 13 years | Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale approx. 62-63 cm |
| 4/4 Size | Age from approx. 14 years | Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale approx. 63-65 cm |

Questions about product
Question by Mina on 16.02.2021
Hello my daughter is 6 years and we have our first guitar lesson soon would this size fit or which would you recommend us?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
For a 6-year-old, this size is perfect. If your daughter is rather small for her age, then I recommend a 1/4 guitar; if she is rather large for her age, you could also think about a 3/4 guitar.
Question by Beate Hindenburg on 16.12.2019
Hello, I received the order today. Now I have a question, there is no Kurt to hang around, I know that only so that you can hang the guitar around.
For a beginner, it is good to hang the guitar even times with strap around.
I would be very happy about an answer from you. If the strap is missing I would be very, very grateful if you would send it to me.
With kind regards
Beate Hindenburg
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
Since children's guitars do not focus on playing while standing - as is sometimes the case with adults - no strap is included. If you still want to purchase a strap, I recommend this one, which can be attached to the sound hole without strap pins: https://www.kirstein.de/Gitarrengurte/Kirstein-Schallloch-Trageband-fuer-Klassikgitarre.html
