THE FUSE

Loog specialises in making instruments for children, offering up a variety of small-scale stringed instruments like guitars and ukuleles for ages three and up. That’s also the number of strings you start with on the company’s smallest instruments, although by the time you reach the nine-plus section, a full quota of six strings is available (as they are on the Loog Pro 6 range, a slightly scaled-down acoustic and electric guitar aimed at adults). There’s also the impressive Loog Piano, which neatly bridges the gap between kid-friendly scale and real quality.
