Liikanen Kantare LO58Cw Reviewed by Elizabeth and William Baulch
My first impression of this guitar wasn?t very favourable: it is very plain in appearance with a satin finish and no proper rosette. However, when I played it, my opinion changed completely.
This is a 3/4 size guitar, suitable for children. Its tone quality and the volume of sound it can produce are excellent. It has a nice fingerboard, comfortable to play and with no buzzing or rattling. The tone in both the bass and treble registers is very pleasing. Unlike many small guitars, the fingerboard is a good width; if the fingerboard is too narrow children find it difficult to hold down one string without touching another.
Although the price is approximately twice that of the 3/4 size guitar which we recommend for pupils, it is well worth the extra cost for the improvement in tone quality which this instrument has.
