KIDS MUSICAL TOYS - STRINGS & THINGS!

Hi Guys, I bet like me you have been guilty of playing air guitar in front of the mirror, playing along with your favourite guitarist, so today I thought we would have a look at some guitars for kids and perhaps dad can even get in on the act.

Children's guitars come in various sizes from the very small toy musical instruments to the 1/2 size acoustic for classical or folk or the cutaway solid electric guitars for kids who are a little older as they need to be boosted through an amplifier.

My choice for today are three acoustic children's guitars of varying quality and price.

This Austin Bazaar 25" kids acoustic guitar is made from wood (not plastic) with a glossy black finish and comes with nylon strings, which are much easier on young fingers, neck strap, carrying case plectrums, tuning fork and spare strings. It is recommended that you tighten up the screws on the tuning knobs before attempting to tune the guitar as they may move when the strings are played. It is likely that children's guitars like this are going to need tuning frequently. Good reviews and an exceptionally low price make this a winning starter guitar for kids.

Westwood are quality kids instruments designed for the budding classical guitarist, with first class workmanship from such a small price tag. The top is spruce and the back and sides basswood with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. It has nylon strings for ease of use and a quality neck strap and carrying case. For the money I don't think children's guitars come better than this.

A very nice quality instrument, ideal guitars for kids just starting to learn to play from a very good manufacturer. As is comes with steel strings it may prove to be a little more of a challenge to young kids finger tips, but it definitely improves the tone. There are no neck straps or carrying cases supplied with these children's guitars, hence the low price. You may need to buy a good supply of plectrums as they are bound to go missing.

Be sure to check out the full product features for yourself by clicking on the product links above and take advantage of the great discount prices available when you buy today.

Look out for my next post coming very soon.
