Hi folks

My Dad is interested in buying himself a classical guitar. He used to play many years ago and from the music I found he was really very good, probably grade 8+ !!!

He doesn't want to spend very much because to be honest his hands are quite stiff with arthritis (he's 81) but he'd like something to "tootle" with. The nearest music shop is 100 miles or so and he can't travel that far.

Any suggestions please - I don't know where to start!!

You could try Chamberlains music! I haven't bought a guitar from them but I have bought student woodwind and they have an excellent service!

I've purchased guitars from www.guitarnotes.com in Nottingham have a wide range of guitars at various prices!

Most are pricey, but there are some "student" instruments.

I used to have lessons here .
