REVIEW OF BEGINNER-LEVEL GUITARS FROM A TECHNICAL, MUSICAL, AND STRUCTURAL POINT OF VIEW: THE CASE OF TURKEY
Öz
The demand caused by the decreasing number of tree species used in guitar production every day is being tried to be met with artificial materials in the 21st century. Guitars are produced mainly in countries where cheap labor and materials are sold at affordable prices, attracting much attention in Turkey and the rest of the world. This type of guitar, sold in some chain markets in Turkey several times a year, attracts the attention of those who mainly want to get a guitar education at the beginner level. This research aims to determine the technical, musical, and structural competence level of imported guitars used at the beginner level in Turkey. In the research conducted in the case study pattern, we studied five people who are experts in their field. "Guitar Technical and Musical Evaluation Form" and "Guitar Structural Evaluation Form" were used as data collection tools by expert opinions. The obtained data were analyzed with the appropriate computer program. The content analysis of the answers given to the open-ended questions was carried out. As a result of the research, it has been found that the guitars in question are regular in appearance, but they are technically and musically found to be incompetent. However, it has been found that the guitars are structurally proportional, but the wood quality needs to be improved. All experts have stated that these instruments have an intonation problem and are unsuitable for guitar education. As a result of the research, it is proposed to officially determine the standards of guitars and allow their import within the framework of these standards.
