Valencia Guitars

Valencia guitars are designed to provide students with excellent quality and value for money, whilst still being built to the highest standards. The Valencia Guitars was established in 1972, and the main aim then was to provide students with instruments that had ease of play and excellent quality, now four decades later the same attributes remain at the heart of the Valencia culture.

Valencia is committed to producing the highest standards of production, ethics and integrity. Here are a few things from Valencia that represent what and who they are as a brand:

• Every Valencia instrument is built with a purpose – to provide the world with quality, affordable instruments that enhance and inspire a lifetime of playing music.
• Every Valencia guitar is craftsman built. Using the best-selected tonewoods sustainably harvested from renewable forests.
• Quality Control in all Valencia factories is overseen by a team of fully-qualified guitar technicians employed exclusively by Valencia. They ensure the production and quality standards hold fast to our values.

Valencia guitars have a modern classical guitar shape, consistent throughout the range, the construction and materials may vary but the classical design remains. Generally smaller than a steel-string acoustic guitar, the nylon string guitar is more often favoured by beginners as it is easier to hold and the strings are more comfortable to play. More experienced players who play classical, Spanish or flamenco music will choose a nylon string guitar because of the specific sound qualities it produces.

Valencia also produces different guitar sizes which are perfect because they provide different ages and sizes with a guitar that suits them comfortably, such as (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 4/4). If you have a guitar that is too big for you-you will notice that your playing skills will decrease as you are not comfortable with the size of the instrument.

Generally speaking, the recommended guitars and sizes are:

• 4 to 6-year-old children, ranging in height from 3’3″ to 3’9″ (99 cm to 114 cm), should choose a ¼ size guitar.
• 5 to 8-year-old children, ranging in height from 3’10” to 4’5″ (117 cm to 135 cm), a ½ size.
• Children between 8 and 11 years old, ranging in height from 4’6″ to 4’11” (137 cm to 150 cm) with a ¾ size guitar.
• Children ages 11 and up who are at least 5′ (152 cm) tall can have a standard, 4/4 or full-size guitar.

Valencia guitars are recommended by tutors to students as they are the perfect beginner guitar, not only that but due to the highest quality standards that they have, they can last a long time so noy only will they be a beginner guitar but a long lasting instrument.
