![]() To me, I love the more natural sounding pickups compared to the ones that you can definitely tell has that “EQ” feel and sound where it picks up every hand movement sound and way too electric. The craftmanship is superb, the wider neck is great for fingerstylists, the cutaway is just uber cool and functions well, and…the included L.R Baggs 5-0 pickup is one of the best I’ve heard. Cordoba hit a home run with this 30 series line with many high-end features in a great package. In fact, i have only praises for this line of Cordobas and this uke, so i want to keep this a positive comment to help everyone. ![]() However, that’s not to say this isn’t a good uke at all. After many months of trying different strings on it, i only realized personally that the spruce top is still too bright with too forward an attack for my style of playing and music taste and that perhaps the Mahogany 30T-CE version would have been a better fit. Lush, Clear and the word i used when i reviewed it was…exquisite. I had it strung with Fremont Blacks Low G flourocarbon strings and when it finally arrived, this uke is a beast. There’s nothing like a fretboard that plays smooth as butter with great intonation all the way up the neck. It is truly a phenomenal value especially after the team’s fantastic setup. The Cordoba 32t-ce all solid Spruce/Rosewood tenor was my 1st uke purchase from The Ukulele Site. A GK Studio flamenco guitar, a Cordoba Mini-M, and a tenor 32T-CE uke from the same line as the ones shown above. Oh I got so caught up with how amazing the whole new site was that I forgot to actually make an appropriate comment about Cordoba Ukuleles on this page and my specific 32t-ce Spruce / Rosewood tenor. That way when we arrive here to look for answers and knowledge, we go STRAIGHT to the top navigation menu and click on STRINGS only without digging in another page. So string review, comparisons, notes….a whole section for just strings, and not a small box link from the main reviews page. Maybe I haven’t seen it yet, but as I was browsing, I was wondering if there’s a dedicated STRINGS section? I’m still trying to wrap my head around what i’ve just seen. I’m checking out the Cordoba review page first since the 1st uke I bought from you guys is a Cordoba 32t-ce, one of the nicer high end ones. At first glance it’s almost information overload in a good way…hey we can never get too much UKE! But we’re going to have to spend a A LOT OF time browsing through the site carefully. We’ve been needing something like this for a long time and I can’t wait to spread the word and show my uke friends how immensely helpful all this is. What a tremendous awesome resource this is for our community! Thank you HMS, Ukulele Site folks, for this. I make small adjustments every few times I play, but otherwise compared to other ukulele models I’ve tried, I’m very impressed with the Cordoba’s ability to stay in tune.Oh my gosh, what a fantastic new upgraded site and more importantly, Most importantly, I’m happy to say that all of ukueles I tried stayed in tune very, very well. I don’t think that you’d notice this if you only had one, but I definitely noticed when I tried different ones. The one I kept felt the most balanced, while the others had relatively heavy headstocks, and tended to tip more easily. Strangely enough, each uke weighed a different amount and had a different balance. The finish was slightly different from uke to uke some being more glossy and some being more matte, and the binding around the edge was sometimes very squared off, and sometimes rounded. The one I kept for myself had a perfect action out of the box that did not have to be adjusted I can play for hours without any pain in my fingertips. A couple of them had fairly high action that hurt my fingers after several minutes of playing. All of the Cordoba 15CMs I purchased sounded good, but there were definitely differences in the setup. The concert (the only size I purchased) sounds less Hawaiian-y than a typical soprano uke. Crisp, clear ring when you strum or fingerpick, and the intonation is spot on. I actually purchased a few of these over the last few months for friends and they all sound wonderful.
