Construction: The body of a classical guitar is generally deeper and the woods are slightly thicker. Flamenco guitars have a flat or negative (before string tension) neck relief, making the action very fast at the cost of some buzzing. The strings are also closer to the body on flamenco guitars to facilitate tapping.

Generally, lighter gauge strings are easier to play, brighter, allow you to bend strings and fret notes easier, and exert less tension on your guitar's neck. On the other hand, lighter gauges offer less sustain and volume, and can break more regularly.

A big part of a guitar's playability is due to string tension. The higher the string tension, the harder you need to work to press down and move the strings. A Les Paul has lower string tension when compared to a Strat with the same gauge strings. This makes a Les Paul easier to play.

The main difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel is that a glockenspiel has metal plates or tubes instead of wooden bars. This makes the glockenspiel a metallophone instrument. Another difference is that the glockenspiel is smaller and is higher pitched.

Electric guitars are generally the easiest to play: the strings are usually thinner, the 'action' is lower and therefore the strings are easier to press down. ... However, the neck is much wider on a classical guitar, which can be a struggle for beginners. The action is likely to be higher, as well.

All guitars don't need string trees. ... With Fender's traditional flat headstocks and inline tuners, the high strings have a longer distance between the nut and tuning posts, requiring the installation of a string guide. They might be small, but they can have a big impact in your tone and tuning.

Firstly, the most obvious difference between Romantic and Classical symphonies is the instrumentation. Relatively, Romantic symphonies have a much broader range of instruments than Classical symphonies, especially for the brass, woodwind and percussion sections.

String gauge is the measurement of a string's thickness and tells you the tone and feel you can expect. Standard sets for guitar range from super-light to heavy. While the gauge difference might seem minuscule, it can transform playability. To reach a given pitch, heavier strings need to be put under more tension.

It's an instrument for which the pitch of the sounded note is different from the pitch of the notated note. ... In fact, the classical guitar is a transposing instrument because the sounded note is an octave below the notated note.

Main Characteristics Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than baroque music and is less complex. It is mainly homophonic—melody above chordal accompaniment (but counterpoint by no means is forgotten, especially later in the period).

A classical guitar uses nylon strings whereas the modern acoustic uses steel string, hence it's often referred to as a “steel string acoustic”. ... With steel-string acoustic guitar strings you get a very twangy and bright sound that resonates (lasts longer) than a classical guitar. They also feel very different too.

92/8 Phosphor bronze strings have a higher composition of copper blended into the metal than 80/20 bronze. Generally 80/20 bronze starts out with a bright attack and will mellow quickly while phosphor bronze maintains a warmer more consistent tone and with greater complexity.

Classical guitars feel totally different to an acoustic guitar. As the strings are made from Nylon, classical guitars will often feel softer and easier to play for beginners. However, the caveat of this is that it will take beginners longer to develop calluses on your fingers.

Notice that the folk style guitar has dimensions very similar to the classical guitar from the previous photo. It is both smaller and have more distinct curves than the dreadnought. ... The jumbo sized guitar (shown on the right) is almost like a cross between the folk, or auditorium style, and the dreadnought.

The differences relate to playing styles: the classical is designed for playing complex, polyphonic pieces using a fingerstyle technique while the folk guitar is designed more for chorded songs played with a plectrum. Both guitars will be similar in size but the classical will have nylon instead of steel strings.

Lower tension means less pressure and smoother sounds “A nylon string is more flexible and under less tension at pitch, giving it a slower attack and more mellow sound, while a steel string is under much greater tension providing a faster attack and brighter sound,” adds Córdoba head luthier Enns.

Both acoustic guitar strings and electric guitar strings have different producing sounds, playability, and tone. In general, acoustic guitar strings are thicker and produce a warmer and fuller sound while electric guitar strings are thinner and produce less volume and a brighter and lighter sound.
