Classic Cantabile - Sounds simply better!
The AS-851 is ideal for beginners and advanced guitarists! Whether for music lessons, band practice, live on stage or around the campfire: this guitar is sure to bring you joy wherever you play!

The Classic Cantabile AS-851 - the perfect beginner or second instrument
The Classic Cantabile AS-851 is ideal for guitar beginners. With a 55 cm scale length, this instrument is perfectly suited to left-handed children aged about 5 to 9. Adult beginners will also appreciate how easy the AS-851 is to play.
Carefully selected materials - quality workmanship
Only carefully selected materials are used for AS-851 guitars. The laminated top and body produce a beautiful, warm sound, while the carefully crafted bridge transmits string vibrations in fine detail, even with a gentle touch. The smooth-running tuning machines also ensure excellent tuning stability.
A sound worth listening to!
It is especially important for beginners to enjoy learning. A guitar must be functional to support successful learning, but sound matters, too. The AS-851 models deliver an expressive sound that makes playing fun and also helps players assess their own technique.
Classic looks
The AS-851 stands out with its light natural-finish top and dark-tinted body. The finely crafted rosette, attractive decorated tuning machines and understated headstock complete the 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 the nut and the bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm, corresponding to a 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are smaller and are therefore recommended for children and teenagers.
Our recommendations for the scale length suited to age and height:
| 1/4 size | Age 4 to 7 years | Height up to 110 cm | Scale length approx. 47-49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 size | Age 5 to 9 years | Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale length approx. 53-55 cm |
| 3/4 size | Age 8 to 11 years | Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale length approx. 59-62 cm |
| 7/8 size | Age 10 to 13 years | Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale length approx. 62-63 cm |
| 4/4 size | Age from approx. 14 years | Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale length approx. 63-65 cm |

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
