Click on any photo below to enlarge
The first Keller we ever saw was a half-size Keller Baby just like this one. With a scale of 22 1/2" this is a true Terz guitar, being a Keller it has jaw-dropping tone. Tuned up to G you get a glorious chime that works great behind vocalists and in a group of other instruments. It's like a capoed sound, but more real because the body matches the scale to perfection. This is also one loud guitar and very easy to play. It is of course built with Michael Keller's usual precision and elegance. This would be a great addition to any arsenal and would also make a top quality travel instrument as it's quite small even in the case.

Player Reviews:
"Superb short scale beauty. I love this little wonder. Tuned up to G the sound is inspiring and etheral. It immediately makes me want to write songs and sing. Play an open G shape and you are really in Bb perfect for many singers. This will make someone very happy indeed." - Paul Heumiller
"I like Keller guitars to begin with and this baby version is just as nice. The tone is clear and sweet and I can think of lots of uses for this. A great addition to anyone's collection." - Al Petteway
