Rodriguez's answer is in your hands. The Manuel Rodriguez Ecologia E-53, Spruce\/Walnut 1\/2 carries that lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpanish Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model pairs a spruce top with walnut back and sides. Cedar tops speak warm and immediate; spruce tops start brighter and grow for decades. Either way, the bracing, the Spanish heel tradition, and the hand-finished details are what four generations of one Madrid family consider non-negotiable. And this is a true 1\/2-size instrument: scaled body, scaled string length, full build quality. The right size is often the difference between a student who practices and one who quits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spanish classical voice: singing trebles, warm basses, and the separation between voices that polyphonic repertoire depends on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlayability\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassical string spacing, clean fretwork, and a setup meant for real technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are the Specs of the E-53?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid spruce top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWalnut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaple neck with acacia fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDovetail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e530 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrings: Hannabach 815HTC Carbon-Treble Special set for 530mm scale, high tension, made in Germany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachine Heads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVan Gent machine head, made in Holland, without Lyra, nickel plated with black shafts and buttons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnvironmentally-friendly, water-based, open-pored silk matte lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManuel Rodriguez ECOLOGÍA E-53\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 size for children from ca. 7 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale 530 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e nut width 45 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid spruce top\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack and sides Walnut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge of top and sides Maple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaple neck with acacia fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for young and smaller-framed students.
