I’ve read some people criticize the quality of the guitar strings that come with the C40. This is like buying a new car and criticizing the polish. You’ll need to change strings regularly as they wear, just as you need to wash your car to keep it clean. Yamaha have done it again! An incredibly budget-priced guitar with an outstanding build quality and tone. Thank you for your interest in our C40 Mk II Classical Guitar. The C40 Mk II is a fantastic instrument and perfect for beginners of classical guitar guitar playing (for instance, traditional Spanish guitar music). (For those with smaller arms, or for classical guitarists looking for something more compact, our CS40 Mk II model is a 3/4 size version of the C40 Mk II.) The sound is of course not perfect and will not hold up against more expensive guitars, but it still sounds good.Constructed with a spruce top and meranti body, the C40 produces a warm and balanced tone that is ideal for classical and fingerstyle playing. The rosewood bridge enhances the sustain and clarity of each note, while the gloss finish and natural colour give the guitar an elegant and timeless look.

The Yamaha C40 features a glossy body finish in a natural colour, giving it a stunning and elegant appearance. The gloss finish not only enhances the guitar's aesthetics but also adds a layer of protection, ensuring that your guitar stays in great condition for years to come. The natural colour showcases the beautiful wood grain of the spruce top and meranti body, giving the guitar a timeless and classic look. Versatile and reliable string selection C40s have a low-midrange sound, not much definition on high frets on the nylon strings, as expected. With over 130 years of operation under its belt, there is no doubt that Yamaha is a well-respected and trusted musical instrument maker. They combine the best of old school techniques with new technology. Taking into account the experience of the company, buying anything from them is a no-brainer. The Yamaha C40 is marketed directly at beginner level players. Being full size, it is ideally suited to the adult beginner, or to children stepping up from ¾ size models. The Yamaha C40 might be basic, but it’s well made, and for a beginner, it’s a great platform for learning the fundamentals. Yes, there are some shortcomings, but the benefits far outweigh the cons in this case. For very little money, you’re getting a solid starter guitar that also includes a gig bag and a tuner, something not many models at this price point tend to offer.By nature, classical guitars have to be tuned more frequently due to the nylon strings which stretch out more often. But true to Yamaha’s legacy, the tuning pegs are easy to adjust and they last for a really long time. That is so useful if you do not know yet how the whole tuning system on classic guitars works. An alternative to the C40 Mk II would be our CG122 Classical Guitar - it's the same size as the C40 Mk II, but crucially it has a solid tonewood top. This hugely improves the resonance (and therefore the warmth and richness) of the guitar's sound compared to a laminate top as the C40 Mk II has (where - to keep an affordable price - the top is actually made up of many layers of wood strips and glues which work against the natural resonance of the guitar). In turn, because it sounds so good, beginners often enjoy playing for longer at a time - helping them to progress. You can read more here
