What is the difference between Hohner guitars and other brand guitars?

Often, when you go to a music store, an aspiring guitarist thinks about buying a tool from such companies as, for example, Ibanez or Fender, since such guitars are mostly used by popular rock bands. However, often the seller, upon hearing the buyer's request, advises to purchase Hohner. Why? Firstly, the guitar Hohner, classical in particular, and any model, can not be better suited for a beginner. As practice shows, to learn more heavy and naughty acoustics, the metal strings of which cut fingers, is not easy. In most cases, the lack of desire to continue learning to play arises precisely because of discomfort when using the instrument. Secondly, the price of almost any guitar Hohner is very democratic and will not hit the beginner's pocket as much as the prices of other brands. Thirdly, a variety of colors allows you to choose a tool that will always delight not only the ear, but the eye, will become a true friend who will never get tired - the person's preferences in terms of color rarely change.

Disadvantages of Hohner guitars

Undoubtedly, in addition to undeniable advantages, each brand has its shortcomings. The most significant drawback of Hohner guitars is their fragility. It is difficult to argue with the statement that this is the fault of the beginning musicians - from the inability to correctly handle the instrument you can, without wishing to spoil it. However, the guitar Hohner, classical in particular, even with proper handling after a couple of years of use begins to slowly lose its suitability: it stops holding the system, it rattles, the sound becomes more "flat", deaf. As a result, the instrument can fail at the most inopportune moment, being upset in the middle of the performance of the composition and putting the musician in an awkward position. When buying a guitar, remember that in about three years it will have to be changed.

Memo for beginner guitarist

Buying a tool, one way or another, is an important and serious step, because the musician chooses a friend and assistant for a long period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to remember the following important points regarding the purchase of a guitar.

• It is not out of place to heed the advice of the seller. Most often they themselves are musicians and do not mind sincerely helping their future associates. Moreover, no seller would like the buyer to come disappointed the next day to return the tool to the store.
• Do not be shy to check the goods right in the store. The firm, the model of the instrument and its overall reputation will still give less information than your own feelings in the game, whether it's a solid acoustic Ibanez or a classic Hohner guitar. The manufacturer, himself, naturally, unwilling, can make mistakes and marriage.
• When you go to a music store, it's better to have a little money with you than the cost of a guitar. For easy carrying, you will need to purchase a case, as well as a spare set of strings and, possibly, a set of mediators of different thicknesses.
• In order to care for the guitar properly, it is also worthwhile to purchase special means to care for the guitar - the body and strings need regular cleaning.
• It is not recommended to buy an expensive professional tool for training. The first "war girlfriend" can be inexpensive, but easy to handle and convenient in the game. A few years of training, trial and error will come time to buy a more serious tool.
• In no case should you leave inscriptions and drawings on the body of the guitar. Many young musicians tend to stand out at any price among the companions and "decorate" their guitars with autographs. Not everyone knows that such a painting worsens the condition of the instrument and changes its sound. Painting a guitar with an airbrush is also fraught with serious consequences. In the case of a great desire to diversify the design of the instrument, you should consult a specialist by contacting a specialized workshop. Do not forget that the cost of such procedures is quite large.
