Review: Great Value for Sweet Sounding Ukulele - Keep in mind that I am an advanced beginner ukulele player, not by any stretch an expert! The Cordoba 20CM ukulele is not flashy; no fancy bindings, high gloss finish, or elaborate inlays. It is, however, a very well made instrument. The neck is constructed of a single piece of wood (unlike some cheaper instruments which are pieced together). Fit and finish are very good; no extraneous glue, nice tight joints, even finish across the body and neck. Most importantly, it sounds quite nice and plays easily. I earlier owned a laminated concert uke that I thought sounded too bright and tinny. The Cordoba has a nice mellow tone, good sustain, and reasonable volume (I actually like that its not real loud, sounds more refined to me). It came set up very nicely, easy action on the fretboard and almost in tune. It stays in tune remarkably well for a new instrument. My only complaint (a small one) is that the open geared tuners seem a bit fiddly -- they feel loose somehow, and don't seem to tighten/loosen the strings smoothly. Instead nothing seems to happen as I slowly turn the peg, then the tone suddenly jumps up or down. Its not a big deal and I think it may just be me gaining familiarity with the uke. I also have a Gretsch tenor uke, and tuning it just feels different. I love the Gretsch, but after only a couple of days the Cordoba is threatening to replace it as my instrument of choice. Bottom line: very good value ukulele. Sounds sweet and plays easily. Well made and well finished.
Review: Very happy with this ukulele. - I am a long time guitar player and have a collection of guitars. I own electric, acoustic, classical, bass but have never gotten into ukulele until recently. After doing a bit of research I decided on the Cordoba 20 TM-CE Acoustic Electric Tenor for my first ukulele. I am very happy with it. First off, it is a very nice looking ukulele, with a very solid feel to it. Nothing on this looks cheaply made. I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice it looks. I was really worried because this was the first time I have purchased an instrument online and without having spent some real time playing with it. Plus, I realized I would be getting an instrument right out of the box without any kind of "setup" which is not the ideal way of making a perfect match. I would recommend always playing an instrument before buying it but I will say that I was lucky and it worked out for me this time. Admittedly, I am new to the ukulele and there is an adjustment to make from the guitar but so far it has been a pretty easy transition. I am loving this thing. The tone is nice and I couldn't be happier. There is a learning curve with the different tuning/fret size/action and I will probably switch out to a low G string but I am having a blast learning this thing. There are no strap buttons on this ukulele so if you are one to play with a strap you will have to improvise with that or install one. There are kits and they are easy to install if you want to wear a strap. If you are looking for a mid range ukulele, this to me feels like a great bang for your buck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice build, average sound
*by T***T on July 18, 2020*

Been playing guitar for forty years, decided to pick up the ukulele about 10 years ago just for fun. Bought a $99 Luna Tattoo concert uke, thinking it was a decent beginner instrument. Played it a few years, then teenage son got interested, and adopted the Luna as his own. Decided to replace it with something slightly better. Did some research, decided on the Cordoba 20CM since it had a solid top (as opposed to the Luna's all-laminate construction), a compensated bridge, a higher price tag and good reviews. The Cordoba is a beautiful little instrument, and immaculately constructed. The neck is thick and wide (making complex chords easy) and the fretwork is flawless. The compensated bridge seems to do its job, tuning and intonation are spot on. However, it seems that these more expensive features don't translate into sound quality. The Cordoba is much softer in volume than the Luna (they're the same size and dimensions, and they have the same strings) and its tone is heavy on the midrange, with very little bass. The Luna's tone is bigger, louder, bassier. You can feel the Luna's body vibrate as you play it, and it just projects sound. This is not the case with the Cordoba. If I had to do it again, I'd have saved some money and gotten another Luna. They're a little rougher around the edges and lacking some features, but there's something about the way they're put together that makes them sound fantastic. The Cordoba 20CM is a perfectly good little ukulele, very nicely made with a nice neck, and completely sufficient for entertaining yourself. But if you're looking for a great sounding uke with enough volume to have some friends singing along, you'll likely find it lacking.
