Terrific Cordoba Uke

The Cordoba Baritone ukulele is beautiful instrument. You note the fit and satin finish as soon as you take it out of the box. And once I got it tuned, it not only met, but it exceeded my expectations. The fingerboard is very comfortable, and the string spacing makes fingerstyle playing easy. The sound is nice and mellow, and it has very nice projection. My biggest problem is that I want to play it all the time. I think it will serve to improve my classical guitar playing (also Cordoba). In addition, I have to thank Jake at Guitar Center Akron for his outstanding help and service. When only the best will do, go with Cordoba, and go with Jake at Guitar Center.

    I've been playing a tenor uke for a year and a half. I like the tenor but was also attracted to a baritone's deep, rich tone. My tenor is a Cordoba so when I saw this Cordoba baritone and its favorable reviews I decided to get it. While I can't offer any side-by-side comparison to other baritones, I can say it has to my ear a wonderful, full, resonant tone. I found no flaws in the setup or cosmetics. Very nice looking.

  • Nice Ukulele!

    Overall, I really like it. Easy to play. Nice tone. Holds it's tune once the strings are worn in. No visible flaws and good action. The only thing is the ends of some of the fret wires are a little sharp, so that might take a little work.

  • Very Good Value

    This instrument fills in a niche for me that I didn't know I had. I tune mine in 5th's like a mandola (CGDA) using classical guitar strings. The sound is somewhere between a classical guitar and a woody sounding mandola. It's lovely. This is my second Cordoba uke and the money to value ratio is very high. Highly recommended.

  • I would buy this product again.

    Great instrument. As advertised and agree with the positive reviews of the past. We haven't had a Uke for many years and are very excited to play and sing as we did during our courtship 42 years ago. It is helping us recapture the fun and satisfaction we had those many years ago. It is a good instrument, stays in tune and has a deep rich tone. It is all that was advertised and for us is a great deal!!
