Frequently Asked Questions
What is the body size and is it suitable for smaller players?
The Rubinito CM is a classic 4/4 full-size classical guitar with a 650mm scale length and 52mm nut width designed for traditional classical technique and finger independence. Full-size instruments are best suited to adult players or advanced teens with fully developed hands; very young or petite players may find a smaller scale more comfortable.
What strings come with the guitar and can I change them?
The Rubinito CM ships with Savarez Cantiga Mixed Tension 510MRJ strings pre-installed and ready to play. You can change to any classical nylon strings that fit the 52mm nut width and 650mm scale; string choice allows you to adjust warmth, brightness, and response to suit your playing style.
How does this compare to other budget classical guitars like the Yamaha C40 or Cordoba C5?
The Rubinito CM shares the solid cedar top and mahogany construction found in guitars at this price level, offering Spanish luthier craftsmanship alongside modern building standards. All three deliver warm, balanced tone suitable for beginners through intermediate players; the Rubinito emphasizes articulate note definition and natural sustain, making it a strong choice if clarity and responsiveness are priorities.
What styles of music work best with this guitar?
The Rubinito CM excels at classical, fingerstyle, folk, and flamenco techniques, rewarding both gentle exploration and expressive playing. It is not designed for metal or electric rock styles; classical and nylon-string instruments are built for acoustic resonance and traditional techniques rather than high-gain or heavily amplified applications.
What materials and hardware are used?
The guitar features a solid Canadian cedar top, mahogany back and sides, a Nato neck with Ovangkol fingerboard and bridge, and Nubone nut and saddle for consistent tone transmission and durability. Nickel-plated machineheads with black buttons and black ABS bindings complete the hardware, all designed for reliable long-term playability.
