Falida is affiliated to Huizhou Quanfeng Yule Products Co., Ltd., and its sub-brands also include Marina and Meridian. Quanfeng was once ranked as the 165th global musical instrument manufacturer and supplier by Music Trades, an international professional magazine in the musical instrument and audio industry, when there were only eight musical instrument factories in China on this list, and Quanfeng was the only professional guitar manufacturer among them.
In addition to folk guitars, Farida also produces classical guitars, electric guitars, basses, ukulele and guitar peripherals. Compared with the steel strings used in folk guitars, the nylon strings used in classical guitars are soft and have low tension, so the tone is more soft and subtle, and it is mostly used to play classical tracks. In addition, the neck of the folk guitar is more elongated, usually 22 frets, while the neck of the classical guitar is thick and short, with a total of 19 frets, which is relatively difficult to hold.
Falida's market strategy is also obvious, compared with domestic brands, its workmanship is more sophisticated, the sound performance is more excellent, and compared with foreign manufacturers in terms of cost performance, there are advantages, so each series has a very good competitiveness.
Marina MC20 series is cost-effective, and the price in the domestic market is about 3,000 yuan. It is available in a 39-inch standard version (effective chord length 650 mm) and a 36-inch children's model (effective chord length 580 mm) with a red pine panel and a rosewood back and side panels with a glossy lacquer finish. Rosewood has good timbre stability, thick low frequencies, high volume, good versatility, and relatively easy grip, so it is very suitable for beginners.
The mid-to-high-end models can consider the Chen Zhi series, the configuration of the whole single has a stronger resonance and full timbre, which can be competent for general performances and teaching, and the price is more than 6000 yuan.
