Great for the money
David1438 12.12.2019
Purchased this for my 5 year old daughter for a Christmas present and had a little play on it myself before wrapping it up!

Pros
Good fretwork with no sharp edges.
Construction seems solid
Nice rounded sound
Easy on the fingers for a first guitar

Cons
Several blemishes and some light scratching in the finish

Overall, an absolute bargain for the money. If it were a more expensive guitar, I'd probably return it due to the low quality finish, but given the incredibly low cost, it's not really a problem.

If my daughter doesn't stick to learning the guitar, I can see myself chucking this in the car as a travel guitar when I go on holidays!

Nice children guitar

It sounds incredible for its size and price. Good craftmanship. Needs tuning almost every single time before playing.

pretty well made instrument
BBGeo 05.09.2019
Bought this for my 5 year old son. I am a classical guitar teacher myself and for this price I did not expect much. But it is an amazing for the price guitar.

Be sure to buy some nice quality strings with it if you want it to intonate because the strings it has when it comes are a bit cheap. I knew that so I bought the cheapest hannabach strings and the guitar sounds very well and even grown ups can actually play it for a travel guitar.

Overall amazing price/quality instrument. Totally recommended. Well done to Thomann.

Buy this in each color

I have a Baby Taylor to compare this to and this Startone is a nylon string version but with a classical guitar headstock. This guitar was packed with TLC I could tell as I opened the box and the blue finish is flawless. The guitar needs a bit of time to acclimatize to its new surroundings and the strings needed to be tuned a few times but seem to stay in tune. I love this guitar and am considering a red one next. I am older so a smaller 1/2 size guitar is easier on my hands and the nylon strings on my fingers. I wish it had a pick up. Dont hesitate over quality concerns or price! harrygrant.io

Surprisingly good guitar for that price range
Nim Boit 18.06.2019
I bought this to bring on travels and festivals and didn't expect much from it. But it holds the tuning surprisingly well and has a decent sound. The string action is also better than I expected. It loses intonation from fret 9 and up but that would be asking too much I think. The only problem is that it has no endpin.

I am a keyboard player,i just bought it for my son.
It looks ok,sound is not bad,but nothing special.
Use better quality strings for better sound.
Keys aren't so good in my opinion.

Great for children
Ferdo1 16.04.2021
I bought this guitar and an electric strat mini for my 7 year old son to start learning the instrument. The quality and price relationship is unmatched in my opinion. Do spend a few extra bucks to get it set up to lower the action which I would do regardless of the brand the instrument is from. Great for beginners

Ok for the price
mynvidia 25.01.2021
Bought this to give to a friend's son who will begin learning the guitar. The tuners are pretty mediocre but do stay in tune which is a good thing. Build quality is pretty good for an instrument at this price point.

All in all, if this is your budget then I don't think you can find anything better at the price. Just don't expect to get great quality.
