Please give me the link, so that I can by.** A: I've fitted a set of Ernie Ball Ernesto Palla Nylon Black and Silver Classical Tie On Set and they are perfect. They took a little playing to settle in but now they are fine. **Q: Can the guitalele be tuned to E?** A: I have to say, as an experienced player, I have had no problem keeping this in tune like a standard guitar EADGBE. It took a while for the tension to settle in but it's fine, the intonation has stayed good. I took sensible precautions by tuning it down gradually, and I don't expect to be able to alternate these very different tunings. Obviously there is less tension in the strings now but it is not causing me a problem. If your style requires higher tension then consider buying different strings. **Q: Good for a 4 year old beginner?** A: I would think that the neck/fret board would be too wide for small hands. **Q: Wanting tp pack in my (large) suitcase. Can someone give me the dimentions from largest width to length please** A: Its dimensions are: scale length (nut to saddle) 432 mm (17"); nut width 47.6 mm (1 7⁄8"); body length 698 mm (27 1⁄2"); body width 229 mm (9"); body depth 71.4 mm (2 13⁄16"). ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha GL1 Guitalele, Natural, Baritone - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XT Coated Classical Guitar Strings - XTC46FF - Silver Plated Copper, XT Dynacore, Carbon Trebles - Hard Tension - MUSIC FIRST Original Design 0.6" (15mm) Thick Padded Country Style Guitalele, 26-29" Guitar Case & Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/47939605-yamaha-gl1-guitalele-mini-acoustic-guitar-natural](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/47939605-yamaha-gl1-guitalele-mini-acoustic-guitar-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
