Cordoba 25C Concert Ukulele

This is a beautiful instrument made with excellent craftsmanship. I wanted to upgrade from a starter concert Uke to a tenor and stay within the $150-$250 range. After a lot of research, I finally chose the Cordoba. The sound is full and rich. The quality, evident. The action on this Uke is a little high and may be a little more difficult to play out of the box, particularly if you are a beginner. I took mine to my local guitar/Uke shop and they lowered the action for me. Now it’s perfect and so much fun to play. In all, it’s a great value, sounds lovely and is so pretty I’d display it on my wall as art.

I started playing the uke over a month ago and realized that I wanted to upgrade. I got the Ranch beginner package, which was absolutely great to starter, a great bank for my buck, and got me going. But I've played guitar before (many, many, many years ago) and know the value of a quality instrument. Not ready for a Martin or Hawaiian koa, but was ready to step up. The Cordoba was IT!. Oh my gosh, it is a beautiful ukulele with a lovely tone and worth every penny. The action is perfect for me. Even my husband said "Ooooo" when I tuned and played it for the first time. And it looks pretty too. The wood coloring is a bit darker than pictured, but still quite lovely.

I’ve been playing the ukulele for 3 years now. I was playing a pretty cheap one to learn on. My instructor had a Cordoba tenor/electric of which I loved the sound when he would let me play his for practice. I told myself that when I had learned 5 songs I would treat myself to a cordoba. That moment was this Summer. I ordered the concert and immediately fell in love. I went back to some old videos of my instructor to realize that the instrument he had was actually the tenor/electric. I felt some buyers remorse because im interested in gigging eventually. So I ordered the tenor/electric since it has the ability for plug-in, and planned to return the original purchase of the concert. I kept them both for about a week to test the sound. I remained in love with the original purchase of the concert. It has a more full and rich sound while the tenor/electric sounded a tad weaker and toy-like.I love this ukulele so much. It sounds so beautiful that it makes me WANT to pick it up and practice everyday. I’ve gotten so much better in the 2 months of owning this. Im thrilled with this purchase! And the purchase and return process through Amazon via Cordoba was excellent and smooth.

Have had this ukelele for almost 2 weeks now and it is amazing. It sounds great, looks beautiful, and I just want to play it all the time. Comfortable action and great tone all across the fretboard.I have been playing guitars for years and always thought of a uke as a toy, but this is so much more. It has a really warm, but also bright tone. It can hold its own in a jam with acoustic guitars because it's in a different register and projects surprisingly well for such a small instrument. And best of all, it's concert size, so it's insanely portable. I have been taking it basically everywhere I go.

This is not a good buy. Within days of stringing to normal tension, the bridge, which is thinly designed and set at an angle asking to be broken ... well the bridge cracked and exploded off the instrument. In a panic (because beyond that the instrument did as I had hoped), I promptly ordered another one. A repeat history, within hours of being strung to normal tension, the bridge was already suffering a fracture. I’m a professional musician & depend on my instruments to perform—quite unnaceptable, never before experienced failure with an ukulele.

This is my personal Ukulele I will be using at church. The Ukulele came with vibrating strings and loose knobs that had to be fix by a member of the church band I am in. The ukulele falls out of tune easily. I have another ukulele that costs one fourth of the price and it seldom falls out of tune and plays and sounds great. In my opinion, it failed to meet my expectations. Its an electric and have not connected it yet so I will not be able to comment regarding its performance.

It looks beautiful and I liked the design. But the metal fret bars had sharp edges which hurt hand so I returned it. Maybe this one missed quality check at manufacturer. I decided to search for one in person not online.

This is a great looking and sounding Ukelele, especially for the price. It holds it's tune very well and the tuning is very easy to adjust with fine tunable adjustments. It came with good quality strings. Overall I don't think you can do better for a beginner and even a more skilled musician would appreciate the details.
