The Yamaha CS40 is a 3/4-size classical guitar designed specifically for young learners and players who find a full-size classical guitar too large. Its compact body and 580 mm scale length provide comfortable handling and easier access across the fingerboard, making practice more enjoyable.
The spruce top delivers a clear and balanced tonal response, while the rosewood fingerboard provides a comfortable playing surface. Combining Yamaha's classical guitar design experience with compact dimensions, the CS40 offers an approachable instrument without sacrificing tone and playability.
With its 48 mm nut width, compact proportions, natural gloss body finish, matte-finished neck, and chrome tuning machines, the CS40 is a practical choice for young students and anyone seeking a smaller classical guitar.
