For a beginner in guitar, we would recommend the following:
- Type– Acoustic Guitar, you can also purchase an electric guitar but that would also require an amplifier and/or cables.
- Brands– Pluto, Granada, Yamaha, Fender (based on your budget)
- Size – Full size
- Preferable model is Yamaha F310 (Acoustic)
- Additional Items– Plectrums (at least 10) and a clip-on tuner (to tune the guitar)
I am a beginner in keyboard or piano, what instrument should I purchase?
For a beginner in keyboard/piano, we would recommend the following beginner level keyboard(s) (61-key):
- We recommend the Casio CTK 4400, Yamaha I455, Yamaha PSR E453 or Yamaha PSR E353
- The two main criteria to look for in the keyboard is that is must have 61 keys and Touch Response.
- Touch Response (Sensitive) means that the keyboard should sound loud if you play it with force whereas if you play it softly, the sound should be less – essentially, it responds to finger touch and how much pressure you put on the keys.

- The easiest way is to purchase online at www.amazon.in or www.bajaao.com
