I bought this knowing it would not be a premium instrument but I wanted a short scale because I am lazy and like easy fingering. So when I got it I found I liked the dimensions and it was pretty playable. I shaved a bit off the bridge to brighten the instrument and adjusted the saddle a bit to lower the string just a little, that helped a lot. I next added some Savarez strings to brighten it further and that really improved it. Not very bassy but I wanted more harmonic content than it had originally and got it. I might shave some mass off the inner bracing and see if I can get a bit more harmonic content out of it. That might weaken the instrument a bit but it didn't cost me too much anyway.
I really just wanted to see if a small scale guitar could give me what I want and now I think it can. I have a full sized classical that sounds excellent but still wanted something that required less effort to play. This would be a pretty decent starter instrument for a young person just... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A really nice sounding guitar, March 7, 2011

The CS40 is a slightly smaller classical guitar at a 7/8 size. Don't be fooled because it is still a big guitar. Sometimes I think people think that the 3/4 and 7/8 are really dinky guitars...Not true. The nut size of 1-7/8 inches is still a big stretch for your fingers when compared to a thinner acoustic or electric. I would recommend changing the strings right away to a better medium hardness nylon strings. It will give you a much better sound. This is the perfect size guitar for an adult who wants to noodle in front of the TV, or wants a guitar that he can take camping or for travel. The overall quality and finish was pretty good... not perfect, but at this price it is an excellent value... Check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big sound for a small guitar, May 23, 2011
This review is from: Yamaha CS40 7/8 Size Classical Guitar (Electronics)
If you want a nice looking, easy to handle and fun to play classical guitar then look no further. I have tried out many classical guitars (Washburn and Ibanez) and I find it hard to put this one down. It arrived the next day and with a few turns of the tuning pegs I was happily playing away. Thanks Amazon and thank you Yamaha.
