Cordoba's 1/2 size Reqinto guitar is handmade with a solid cedar top and mahogany back and sides.  The hand-inlaid all-natural wood rosette and Indian rosewood detailing distinguishes this model from other guitars in this price range. It is designed with the traditional 5-fan Torres style bracing to produce a rich Spanish sound in spite of its diminutive string length.  Ideal for children learning how to play nylon string guitars. Winner of Winter NAMM 2010 Best in Show.

The Requinto comes strung with high tension Savarez guitar srings, which are meant to be used in standard E tuning.  Because the scale length of this guitar is slightly shorter than a full size guitar, the tension will be slighly lower than a full sized guitar as a result, but will still play very well in standard tuning.  The Requinto can be tuned up as high as a minor third up to G standard tuning, which will increase the tension, but any tunings higher than this are not recommended, as the added stress of the highter sting tension of these tunings will compromise the long term health of the instrument.
