"These folks are awesome - I got mine just in time to visit my elderly dad. It fit diagonally in my small carry-on - so much easier than having a separate instrument case. And a bonus is getting to use standard tuning!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is it built?

We created and patented a hollow-neck system that makes a 22-inch guitar resonate like a larger one.

Mincorda® resonance body is made on high-quality polymers with great acoustic capabilities, and mounted over a solid aluminum frame. It’s finished by hand and carefully calibrated. And as a bonus track, it's environment friendly: Minicorda® is made with 65% recycled materials.

Return policy

Return policy is also very important for us. You can take your money back and send the instrument to the factory up to one month after receiving it.

Strap

You can use Minicorda® with a regular guitar strap (not included). Also you can hold it, or place it over your leg.

Output is for line-out or headphones?

Minicorda® has a built-in mono line output. You can plug it to any amp or line input for recording. You cannot use it directly with headphones.

What does it sound like?

Many say that sound cannot come out from a "baguette-size" guitar, but it does. Minicorda® sounds like a regular size nylon guitar and some early adopters says its sound is fat, warm, and with a long sustain. Please take a listen to the demos below.

Tuning and assembling

Minicorda® is one solid-piece guitar. There's nothing to assemble like on the majority of the travel guitars. And it's also regular-tuning (EADGBE).

It is ok for any hand size?

Minicorda® Scale-Lenght is 21.2 in / 54 cm. It's smaller than a regular guitar. It's a perfect match for small/mid size hands, it may result not-natural for XL hands. If you want to know if Minicorda® is right for you, try playing a regular guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. If you can play it comfortably, Minicorda® will be right for you.

Right-handed or left-handed?

Minicorda® comes in both flavors, regular and lefty. And it will always have both versions since one of the founders is left-handed. You can also use a left-handed as regular and vice-versa only flipping strings position.

Can I play it unplugged?

Minicorda® is electroacoustic. Almost no sound comes if it's unplugged, though it will work for practicing. All our videos were recorded using the built-in line output, some directly to the computer input, some to an amp.
