Is a smaller guitar harder to play?

1- Easier to play / Great for beginners Small guitars solve this problem and that makes them a great beginner guitar. A guitar like the Baby Taylor is ¾ the size of a traditional acoustic guitar. This means it's a lot easier to hold for someone that is not used to the shape and feel of a guitar.

A travel guitar is usually a little guitar that you take with you when you don’t want to bring your go-to dreadnaught or electric. But of course this is different for everyone. Your go-to guitar is probably a full-sized instrument, but we recommend traveling with a smaller form factor, like a parlor or a mini guitar. Small guitars can sound just as good and sometimes better than full-bodied guitars depending on the style of music you prefer.

1- Easier to play / Great for beginners

One of the major complaints we hear at Guitartricks from beginner guitarists is that their fingers are too fat, or they can’t hold the chords properly because the neck is too wide. Small guitars solve this problem and that makes them a great beginner guitar. A guitar like the Baby Taylor is ¾ the size of a traditional acoustic guitar. This means it’s a lot easier to hold for someone that is not used to the shape and feel of a guitar.

2- Great for children

Because small guitars are, you know, small, they’re also great for kids to learn on! There are entire companies like Loog who focus specifically on small guitars for kids because as we all know, children have smaller hands and they may not be able to play on a standard size.

3- Easier to store

Due to the size of little guitars like parlor-sized instruments, they’re a bit easier to travel and store. You don’t have to worry about playing real life Tetris with your luggage if you carry a smaller instrument, heck you can probably throw it in the backseat for those short trips.

4- Great for fingerpickers

A small, travel guitar may not have the resonance one may get from a full-sized dreadnaught but that doesn’t mean they can’t fill a room. Some smaller guitars have great dynamic and finger response, which is why parlor guitars were so popular among fingerpicking performers.

5- Usually a little more affordable

Smaller guitars can also be less expensive than their standard-sized counterparts, depending on the manufacturer and quality. For example, a Baby Taylor can be had for about $349 and it’s a quality product from one of the best names in acoustic guitar manufacturing. But if you wanted something under $200, there are great options from Yamaha, Luna and more. There are tons of different sizes of guitars, and if you’re not sure how to tell them apart or not sure of the differences be sure to check out all of the different types of electric guitars here.

What is the instrument you play without touching it?

HOUSTON — The most curious quality of the theremin, one of the oldest electronic instruments, is how its eerie and ethereal sound is manipulated without the performer actually touching it. "When you play the theremin, you need to be very still," said Carolina Eyck, a German-born musician who specializes in the theremin, as she demonstrated how she "finds" notes in the air. "You need to have good body posture so you can play with precise movements and precise notes." Considered a virtuosic performer of the instrument — which was invented around 1920 by Russian physicist Leon Theremin — Eyck has won several awards and given concerts all over the world. Houston's Apollo Chamber Players brought Eyck to the Texas city in February to participate in a concert featuring her original compositions, as well as a work for theremin, oboe, piano and string quartet by Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu. Eyck performs Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold," from the 1966 western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Video by Houston Public Media Eyck, with the Apollo Chamber Players, visited Houston Public Media's George B. Geary Performance Studio to record Eyck's original compositions "Jumping River (4th Movement – Fantasias for Theremin and String Quartet)" and "Soliloquy," as well as Eyck's arrangement of Ennio Morricone's iconic "The Ecstasy of Gold," from the 1966 film "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Video produced and edited by Troy Schulze. Todd Hulslander (audio engineer) and Justin McKee (graphics) also contributed to the video. Video shot by Matt Brawley, Joe Brueggeman, Macie Kelly, Troy Schulze, and Fujio Watanabe. This report originally appeared on local station Houston Public Media.
