Toys and Games Reviews of Woodstock Percussion, Inc. Woodstock Percussion Kid's Fantasy GuitarCustomer Review: Woodtsock Fantasy Guitar: No Casualties.....Yet Summary: 3 Stars
Woodstock Percussion Kid's Fantasy Guitar is a small, six- string guitar designed to entertain youngsters as they exercise their creative abilities. It is a good starting guitar for youngsters and it includes a few extras, such as a pick, additional string, and instruction booklet.
This children's guitar is manufactured for young musicians in the making. It is small in size and easily fits in the hands of children. It is also very light weight so that children can easily hold it in place and play it without strain. It provides a means to make a little noise and create songs, making it a good choice as a creative outlet.
Like I said, this guitar is very light weight in construction. It is so light, in fact, that I immediately began to question the guitar's durability. The construction is comprised of very thin pieces of wood and other materials and while nothing has happened since I purchased this guitar a few months ago, it seems like only a matter of time until something breaks.
As for making music, this product does have some good things to offer. It creates a pleasant sound and kids will enjoy strumming the strings as they make up songs. Another nice factor is that the sound isn't very loud. One potential problem for some parents is that the strings cannot be tuned to the proper pitch. This instrument has the standard six strings, frets, and tuning knobs, etc., just like those of a standard guitar, but the strings can only be made to approximate the proper pitch. This won't matter to the vast majority of parents and I would say it is safe to assume that kids will not care either. But serious parental musicians may not like this.
Of all the features of this guitar, the one that annoys me the most is the tendency of the strings to loosen. With ordinary usage, the strings slowly loosen up, regardless of whether or not the knobs have been touched. At first, I thought my girls were playing around with the knobs, but quick observation proved this was not the case. The strings just naturally loosen up, with regular usage.
So, how does this children's guitar measure up overall? Well, it seems sufficient for its intended use and children will find it entertaining. On the other hand, its construction isn't very solid and the strings gradually loosen, even after a few minutes of use. Thus, considering all pros and cons, I'm going to give it an average rating overall. It hasn't broken or failed us yet, but it seems like a matter of time before it self- destructs and the field of pros and cons are basically equal.
