Description

The Admira Alba 3/4 Size Classical Guitar is a friendly, confidence building instrument designed for younger learners and players with smaller hands. With a compact body and shorter scale, it brings proper classical string spacing and comfortable reach to pupils starting their musical journey, while still delivering the warm, rounded nylon string voice teachers expect. Whether it is your first guitar, a step up from a school loaner, or a compact companion for travel and practice, the Alba offers an easy playing platform that encourages good technique and tidy posture. It is light in the lap, responsive to a gentle touch, and inviting for chords, melodies and grade pieces alike.

Built to inspire progress, the Alba pairs a resonant Oregon pine top with sapelli back and sides for a clear, balanced tone that projects well in the classroom. A stable mahogany neck and smooth rosewood fingerboard support clean fretting, while precise nickel machineheads make tuning quick and reliable. Thoughtful finishing, from a tidy gloss coat to well dressed frets and a comfortable nut and saddle, helps keep string action approachable and buzz free. Compared with a basic student guitar, you get a more refined setup, more consistent intonation across the fingerboard and a touch more sustain, so pieces sound musical from the very first week.

Perfectly sized for ages around 8 to 11, the 3/4 format suits UK primary and early secondary tuition, ensemble work and home practice without strain. Nylon strings are gentle on fingertips and the traditional wide fingerboard gives room for clean note placement as pupils learn rest strokes, arpeggios and chord shapes. The hardy gloss finish shrugs off day to day school use, and the dependable hardware stands up to regular tuning in lessons and rehearsals. With solid value and dependable playability, the Admira Alba makes an excellent choice for beginner to early grade players, supporting steady progress through popular UK exam syllabuses and giving confidence for performances, concerts and assemblies.

Features

Comfortable 3/4 size for growing players

The reduced body size and shorter scale make the Alba easy to hold and play, helping younger students achieve correct posture and clean technique. Classical spacing aids accurate fretting, so chords and single note lines come together quickly.

Responsive tonewoods for a clear, balanced voice

An Oregon pine top paired with sapelli back and sides produces a warm core with articulate highs, ideal for melody work and graded repertoire. The result is a musical tone that encourages expressive practice and confident performance.

Stable tuning and smooth playability

A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a secure, comfortable feel, while quality nickel machineheads make tuning straightforward and reliable. A careful factory setup keeps the action approachable for small hands.

Classroom ready durability

A protective gloss finish resists everyday knocks and scuffs, making the Alba well suited to lessons, rehearsals and school concerts. Robust construction ensures it stands up to regular use and travel between home and classroom.
