Cordoba Requinto 1/2, Small Body, Acoustic Nylon String Guitars, Iberia Series

Cordoba’s 1/2 size Requinto guitar is handmade with a solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides. The hand-inlaid all-natural wood rosette and Indian rosewood detailing distinguishes this model from other guitars in this price range. It is designed with the traditional 5-fan Torres style bracing to produce a rich Spanish sound regardless of its diminutive string length. Ideal for children learning how to play nylon string guitars. Winner of Winter NAMM 2010 Best in Show.

The Requinto comes strung with high tension Savarez guitar strings, which are meant for use in standard E tuning. Because the scale length of this guitar is quite shorter than a full size guitar, the tension will be quite less than a full sized guitar consequently, but will still play very well in standard tuning. The Requinto may also be tuned up as high as a minor third up to G standard tuning, on the way to increase the tension, but any tunings higher than this aren’t really helpful, as the added stress of the higher string tension of these tunings will compromise the longer term health of the instrument.
