I just bought this ukulele yesterday and I LOVE it! The strings are very good quality and the ukulele is just beautiful all around. This is my first ukulele and its really easy to pick up the chords and learn a few songs within the first day. Great buy! Don't hesitate with buying this one!

I already have a Kala mahogany tenor, and I went into GC intending to buy a cheap beater uke to throw in the car, keep at the office, travel, etc. I figured I'd get the really low-end, $40 soprano they have there. This Cordoba caught my eye, however, and once I played it a bit, I knew I must have it. The tone is the equal of a couple of instruments I've played costing 2-3 times as much (still love my Kala, though), and it looks great too. The workmanship on mine is impeccable--no glue spots, perfect finish, frets all nicely filed and polished, decent intonation, and a nicely finished, level fretboard--on my kala, there's one note (13th fret on the A string that frets out on the 14th fret) that's unplayable due to a very slightly uneven fret. On this cheaper uke, no such problem. If you're just starting out, skip the under $50 beginner sopranos and go right to this concert uke instead. It'll save you the additional expenditure in a couple of months, after you know what you're doing and want a nicer instrument. Kamakas are in no danger from this one, but the cheapos can't compare to it.

I have had this uke for about a month and a half. It's really great; I play it with a felt pick, and it sounds nice and thick when strummed around the 12th fret, and has a nice woody tone when played over the soundhole. The craftsmanship on this thing is amazing. It stays in tune very well, and this is just a great uke. The satin finish looks and feels great. It's just great. I would suggest anyone to buy this.

I have tested most of the ukuleles available at GC for the price range up to $150. And the Cordoba stands out in tone. This brand is known in the world of Classical Guitars and they certainly made a good ukulele without asking for more of your cash. Mostly constructed on Mahogany wood for the top, sides, back and neck with rosewood fret board giving it a warmer tone and is louder than the Mitchell MU70. Although the Mitchell has much more "good looks" in both finish and the choice of woods (spruce top, rosewood back and sides) but since the wood combination is more akin to steel guitars, the nylon strings didn't shine much in sound. This Cordoba gives you a good reference on how an ukulele should sound. A closer rival in tone is the Lanikai NK-C in Koa wood body but its in >$300 range. But I can't blame Lanikai for such price since Koa wood is rare and can only be found in Hawaii. I'm not a musician by profession and so having this Cordoba is much more practical just to have fun with my little 5 yr old son singing to him all his favorite Backyardigan songs. But when opportunity arises for me to play in public, I will not be ashamed to pull this out knowing this has a great tone.

I've been playing guitar for 16 years but have played musical instruments for 25+. Expanding taste to more classical sounds and always wanted a ukulele to add to repertoire. Researched several ukes online and chatted with local music stores. Almost landed on a Lanakai LKP-C Concert Pack for affordability plus the included extras (tuner, bag, etc.) until my local Guitar Center staff brought out a little surprise called the Cordoba 15CM. Besides the smooth Mahogany look (and I mean this gem looks great in person), the finger board is smooth, the included Aquila strings play well (I bought some Martin strings to try later on), and the geared tuners have held the tension well (re-tuned maybe 3-4 times in about a week, and I'm playing 2-3 hours a day...not bad for brand new strings). And for $99, I couldn't ask for a more pure sound out of the body. My daughter now asks me to play Iz riffs to put her to sleep at night. Cool. I bought a decently padded Cordoba bag for $25, much better than the bag in the Lanakai LKP-C pack. With free tuner apps available on the iPhone (check out Infinaut's "Ukulele Companion"), I got more for the money than spending $179 on the Lanakai kit. Nothing against Lanakai Ukes...I just feel I got a better setup for the price going with Cordoba this time around. I'm going to enjoy this Cordoba for many years. Can't wait to strum this baby on the beach.

This is a great ukulele! The Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele looks nice, is well made, and sounds great. This is my first ukulele. I have found it is very easy to play, and more importantly, it is fun to play.

Comments about Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele:

I've never owned a ukulele before, but this was given to me as a gift. Its a solid little mahogany instrument and sounds cool, but there are noticeable flaws mainly with the tuning pegs and the overall intonation of the instrument. The C string tuning peg has a little more slip in it than one would like and when everything is in tune, the slight crookedness of the neck makes it so that open chords in 1st and 3rd positions sound the best, but not perfect. Don't expect perfection at this price. Its a nice starter for someone trying to learn and the finish and binding are very nice, but the playability is a big issue. If a perfect uke were akin to a flawless PRS electric guitar, then this instrument is on par with a Squier stratocaster.

I've tried different types of ukes before choosing this one. Great value for the price. Good to record with! I recommend it.

Comments about Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele:

As a beginner with just a little guitar experience, I feel this ukulele is perfect for me. It has a great tone, comes with recommended strings, and I love the mahogany top, back and sides. I feel you are getting the most out of youryour dollar with this one!

Comments about Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele:

My daughter learned the ukulele at music camp, but decided the soprano was a bit small. We did some research online and at the store and decided on this model in the concert size. Initially we had some tuning issues, but decided this was because of the heat and humidity of going from the store, to a hot trunk and finally to the house. It has held it's tuning very well since then and this has been almost 3 months now. My daughter spends almost every spare moment either playing her uke, singing, or playing and singing.

Personally, I like the richer sound of the concert size. The slightly larger neck is easier for adult hands to find the correct strings. When we purchased this instrument we had 4 to choose from they all played well, so it was a matter of color choice. Since these are natural wood products, no 2 will look alike. If you can purchase at the store, I would recommend doing so. I will have to buy a second one since my daughter only lets me play hers briefly.

This ukulele sounds very good. It has a smooth sound to it. I recently had the LU-21 but I was looking for something bigger. (I do recommend the LU-21 to beginners) This ukulele is light and I take it to school everyday.

I recently purchased a real inexpensive uke on eBay, loved it so much, I thought, why not purchase one that I would LOVE. A buddy and myself set out on a journey one lunch hour during the week. He had been doing some research for me, and was going to be the one to help me purchase this new uke. We step into Guitar Center and BAM!! there it was, everything about this uke is beautiful. I would recommend this uke to anybody who is looking for one. The sound is crisp and the aesthetics of the uke are amazing. This is definitely a must have item!

Purchased this after owning a Mahalo Rainbow soprano which did not holds its tuning and which sounded poor. Compared to the Mahalo, this Cordoba uke is a real instrument and it makes the Mahalo seem like a toy. The sound is night and day different and this Cordoba is a quality instrument. There is no value in the cheap under $50 ukes compared to the value you get with this Cordoba 15CM Concert Uke. Tremendous value for the money. You don't have to change the strings upon arrival as it comes with Aquila strings and it stays in tune nicely.The Cordoba also looks great. Nothing else compares at this price point.

I wanted to try my luck at a ukulele, and this one came so highly rated I decided to spend the extra money. I am so glad I did! It is a wonderful little instrument and I am having so much fun learning on it. The sound quality is great and is holding up well.

Comments about Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele:

I started off with a cheap plastic uke. It was too small and hurt my fingers. I bought this from the store and it played like a dream, I fell in love. It stays in tune, rarely have to tune it. It is very comfortable on the fingers, no pain when first learning. It has a very beautiful sound. Please check this one out when looking for a new uke. It's worth every penny! ☺️

Ordered online after seeing the great reviews, and so glad I did. Easy order online & pickup in-store same-day on Colorado Blvd., Denver. The guitar guy said it was a very good pick. Plays well, good quality, etc. Bought for my daughter's 14th birthday, and she loves it! The strings are much easier to press down than a guitar, and small enough to handle easily. Just remember that it does take a couple tuning/playing times, but then will eventually keep tune better/longer.

Comments about Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele:

I purchased an LU-21 from GC in May to see if I'd stick with it and love ukulele as much as I thought I would. I'd also recommend the LU-21 for beginners (absolutely NO complaints). I did a "trade-in/trade-up" at GC. I considered the Riptide and the Mitchell as well as the Luna Tattoo. Once I tried the Cordoba 15CM I was sold. Excellent sound and workmanship. I may move along to an Tenor at some point but the is one good Uke for the price!!

Comments about Cordoba 15CM Concert Ukulele:

I used to play a $200 my friend's ukulele, but this one sounds way better. Great for budget! Great for new & medium learners! You need to tune a little bit often in the first few days, but then it stays in tune pretty nice! I REALLY LOVE the sound of this ukulele. Even when I'm accompany with the chords only or playing in finger-style, the note sounds so clear which makes the melody so much more amazing!
I've been researching on nice-sound ukulele with great price for so long. Now I found it! So glad I made this purchase! Lovely I'll play with it all the time 'cause it makes me so much happier!
