Classic Cantabile - Simply Sounds Better!
The AS-851 is perfect for beginners and advanced guitarists! Whether for music lessons, band practice, live on stage, or around the campfire: This guitar will bring you joy everywhere!
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 sized for left-handed children aged about 5 to 9 years. 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’s important that learning is fun. A guitar must not only be functional to guarantee optimal learning success but also deliver great tone. The AS-851 models provide expressive sound for plenty of enjoyment and allow a good assessment of your playing technique.
Classic Look
The AS-851 stands out visually with its light natural top and dark tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, the beautiful decorated tuning machines, and the discreet headstock complete the overall look.
Which Guitar Size Is Right?
The scale length indicates the size of a guitar—or more precisely: the length of the vibrating string between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm, corresponding to a 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are smaller and therefore recommended for children and teenagers.
Our Recommendations for the Scale Length Matching Age and Height:
| 1/4 Size | Ages 4 to 7 years | Height up to 110 cm | Scale approx. 47-49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 Size | Ages 5 to 9 years | Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale approx. 53-55 cm |
| 3/4 Size | Ages 8 to 11 years | Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale approx. 59-62 cm |
| 7/8 Size | Ages 10 to 13 years | Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale approx. 62-63 cm |
| 4/4 Size | Ages from approx. 14 years | Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale approx. 63-65 cm |
Here you get an excellent guitar at an unbeatable price!

Questions about product
Question by Marc Niebler on 10.09.2021
Hello,
are the strings already wound and the guitar ready to play when delivered? Also, I would like to order replacement strings right away. Which strings do you recommend?
Thanks for the info and have a nice weekend
Marc Niebler
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
Yes, the guitar comes with strings strung and only needs to be tuned. As replacement strings we can recommend for example the following: https://www.kirstein.de/Saiten-fuer-Konzertgitarre/Shaman-Classical-Saiten-fuer-Konzert-Gitarre-inkl-2-Ersatzsaiten-und-3-Plektren.html
