Strictly speaking, this post should belong to my other blog - as it pertains to my little one, for whom I have bought this instrument. But since it IS about a guitar, I thought it'd fit well here too.
I paid a visit to the Yamaha shop at Plaza Singapura yesterday and brought home a new addition to my guitar collection: a Yamaha GL-1, also known as the Guitalele.


It is basically a 1/4 size classical guitar, similarly sized like a Ukelele, but unlike the latter which has only 4 strings, it has the full set of 6. Its tuning however is A-E-C-G-D-A, which is a fourth higher than the standard (Prime) guitar. Thus, it essentially is a requinto guitar pitching, though I suspect it is actually much smaller than a requinto (I have not seen/played a requinto guitar before, so I'm just hazarding a guess...)
Anyway, I thought it'd be cool for JK to have his own guitar - and something that fits his little frame (oh, he's just 2 years old! =P ) - so that he can start strumming and whacking those strings.
* and also so he'd not harass me whenever I take out my Kohno to practise! hahaha*
