Choosing the Right Guitar
The right guitar is one that feels comfortable in your child’s hands and makes it easy to participate. A few simple features can help you choose with confidence.
THE RIGHT SIZE
A smaller guitar is easier for young children to hold, reach around, and comfortably explore.
NYLON STRINGS
Little Strummers Method™ uses nylon-string guitars for a softer feel and comfortable hands-on exploration.
COMFORTABLE FIT
The best fit allows your child to hold the guitar naturally and participate without struggling with an instrument that feels too large.
Our Primary Recommendation
Fender CN-25 3/4 Nylon-String Guitar
Easy to strum, comfortable to hold, and sized to grow with your child.
3/4 Size
Large enough to grow with your child while still being manageable for young Little Strummers.
Nylon Strings
Softer and more comfortable for small hands while children explore, hold, and strum.
Made to Last Beyond Little Strummers
A guitar your child can continue using as they grow and, if they choose, continue learning to play.

MORE WAYS TO PARTICIPATE
