nylon-string guitar
Flamenco player's choice
A nylon-string guitar uses nylon rather than steel for its strings, producing a mellower, warmer tone.
The term is largely synonymous with classical guitar, though nylon-string encompasses flamenco guitars and other variations.
The softer strings are easier on fingertips and suit fingerpicking styles: She learned on a nylon-string before switching to steel.
