A fellow was selling a nearly new Córdoba (iOS autocorrects the accent) 15CM, and I purchased it today. I offered what I thought it was worth on the used market ($60) and that was accepted. As another laminate, my Makala CE is very close (but the Cordoba's original cost is higher), but on the surface, the Córdoba has more aesthetic appeal, and sounds just a bit brighter and clearer.
That said, I have been playing the Makala CE a lot since I bought it in January as my first ukulele--so the stock Aquillas may be losing their brilliance from hours of playing (on a good ukulele day at school, I am probably playing along with students for 3-4 hours a day). I would have to change the strings to really get a good idea of which ukulele sounds better.
Granted, my NUD isn't a K-model like so many of you--but still a NUD nonetheless.
