HALF GUITAR, HALF UKULELE, ALL FUN
—GL1 Guitalele Crosses Two Popular Instruments
to Create a Unique Playing Experience —
ANAHEIM, Calif.—Now available for the firs time in the United States, the Guitalele is a
miniature nylon guitar that looks and sounds like a ukulele, but features six strings and is tuned
like a standard guitar up to an A (A/D/G/C/E/A). Chord fingering is the same for any standard-
tuned guitar, but now guitarists can easily join the ukulele craze with a portable, playable and
thoroughly unique instrument.
“The GL1 plays well and gives guitarists a fun alternative to their usual
nylon string guitar,” says Dennis Webster, marketing manager,
Yamaha Guitars.
The GL1 (MSRP: $140) is currently available.
