GEWA Pro Natura 7/8 Solid Spruce Classical Guitar – A Quality Guitar with a Solid Spruce Top The GEWA Pro Natura 7/8 Solid Spruce is a quality classical guitar with nylon strings, designed primarily for young guitarists, music school students and more demanding beginners. The 7/8 size is recommended by the manufacturer for ages approximately 11 – 13 years old. Thanks to its smaller body and 620 mm scale length, it offers a more comfortable grip than a full-size 4/4 classical guitar and allows for a more natural left-hand position. Nylon strings are softer to the touch than steel strings of acoustic guitars, making them ideal for teaching classical playing. They facilitate correct tone formation and are gentler on the fingers of beginner guitarists. The GEWA brand is among the renowned German manufacturers and distributors of musical instruments. GEWA instruments are designed with an emphasis on quality workmanship, good playability, and reliability. The GEWA PRO NATURA series was created with an emphasis not only on sound and playability but also on a more environmentally friendly production process. Pro Natura instruments use woods from the northern hemisphere and more eco-friendly varnishes. A significant advantage of this model is the solid European spruce top. Compared to the usual laminated top, solid wood allows for more natural resonance and gives the guitar a more open, dynamic and musical character. The back panel and sides are made of European maple, which gives the guitar a clear and specific sound character. Maple is also used to make the neck. The satin matte finish underlines the natural look of the wood and also allows the instrument to resonate well. The guitar is made in Europe and comes factory equipped with quality German strings Hannabach 815HT. Sound and Use The GEWA Pro Natura 7/8 offers a balanced, clean, and natural classical sound. The solid spruce top provides good dynamics, legibility of individual tones, and sufficient resonance for teaching as well as advanced playing. Thanks to the 620 mm scale length and 48 mm nut width, it is comfortable to play even for those who find a full-size 4/4 classical guitar still too large.
