Yamaha is now in the 3/4-sized bandwagon. Seen above is the CSF1M. You read that right- the CSF monicker is back. However, the compact feature in this range is fresh. You'd say that, hey, Yamaha has those compressed APX & JRs going all this while so what's the beef with the CSF range? The CSF range is not a travel type offering so that's the main difference there. This CSF1M here is a 23.6" player with a solid spruce top.
The CSF3M on the other hand, is a full solid model for $200 more. Both models feature a passive electronics, meaning- no on board controls, just plug in & play. This is believably aimed at Martin's Dreadnought Jr but the Yamaha, in my books, is one up simply because if features real wood for a fretboard. Let me spell it our for you: R-O-S-E-W-O-O-D. So what we have here are good editions to the not-so-big acoustic range out there which is a timely reminder that such instruments are not for kids to begin with. Yes, kids might benefit from such ergonomics but it's as much an adult indulgence.
