## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kid of strings needs to be used for this guitlele ? 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").
