Classical Guitar Accessories
Wall Mount stand One of the most important accessories for the classical guitar, and one of the most overlooked is the stand. It is important that you keep your guitar in a stand. This will help maintain it and preserve it for years to come. Leaning your guitar against a wall is a bad habit. One fall can break the neck of it. Here is a nice hanging stand so you can hang it on the wall. It frees up floor space. This also looks great. String Swing Wood Guitar Wall Hanger
   
Floor Stand Here is a more traditional Guitar stand for floor placement. this is the most common type of stand and if you do not want to drill holes in your wall this is the way to go. It is obviously also portable which is a benefit over the wall mount stand. Laurel Guitar Stand
   
Wood Care - Your classical guitar is a long term investment and a finely crafted musical instrument. I highly recommend you purchase a cleaning and polishing kit. It will maintain the wood and the sound quality. D Andrea Deluxe Guitar Care Kit
Tuning Fork - E note - I use a tuning fork out of personal preference. I believe it is a better tool for your ear. It encourages you to develop your pitch. Any note is ok but E is nice because it is an open string note. This fork here is an E. Planet Waves Tuning Fork, E
   
Electronic Tuner - If you prefer an electronic tuner this one is inexpensive and effective. I don't use it buy I have a friend who has this exact model and I have tried it. It works fine and is particularly good for beginners. Qwik Tune QT-9 Guitar Tuner
   
Strings - There is a definite difference in string sound by manufacturer and quality. This is the exact string I use most of the time. It sounds good and is an excellent value. I recommend you get at least two sets. There is nothing worse than breaking a string and having no back up.D'Addario EJ45 Pro Arte Classic Normal Classical Strings
   
Foot Rest - As a classical guitarist you play with your left foot elevated. This is a handy wooden foot rest. I like the black color because it makes it less of a visual distraction. And I like the fact that it is wood. It just seems more natural and more in tune with the classical guitar. Ultra WFS2-2 Wood Classic Guitar Footrest
