The steel string acoustic guitar has a bright sound that is perfect for strummers.
However, the high tension and sharpness of the strings can be a major obstacle, particularly among young students.
The narrow width of the neck makes the strokes more accessible but, at the same time, requires a high precision of movement of the fingers on the fretboard.
Usually the metal string guitar is quite popular among adult students, while the nylon string is more popular among young students.
