Just reviewed on Got A Ukulele so in shop condition with tags. Did rather well - think this one got lucky on the spalting design, particularly on the sides. Solid spruce top, lam spalted maple back and sides, pau ferro bridge and board, bone nut and saddle. Price is £170 DELIVERED within UK...

I've seen quite a few Cordoba instruments - and, whilst in the UK they are not stocked by uke specialists, they each arrived with acceptable QC and setup. Usually pretty good builds too. What I can't put my finger on though is why they didn't ever really excite me. I used the term 'safe' in the...

Can't speak for USA myself, but none in the UK do. Think that is a fair point you make - although on this one it worked out ok

Nice when something changes preconceived ideas about brand and wood type https://www.gotaukulele.com/2024/04/cordoba-24c-concert-ukulele-review.html

It's fabulous!

To be fair to you, it 'may' be this one and he photographed it before sending it to me! Actually - different model number - Martin must have made a couple in this spec!

Not yet it's not - it's sat next to me in its case I am typing this!

Y Totally threw me too. I am on a bit of a concert fix lately but like the woods darker (as I do with sopranos) to make up for the smaller body. When I saw this I had reservations. But it sounds like a totally different wood set - warm, loads of breadth. Quite remarkable what he has done

Hi - I reviewed this uke and have been trying to sell it WITHIN THE UK for Matthieu as it will avoid charges shipping it back to France hand made in France, solid wood jazz style concert (check my review of it for more details). Price includes shipping within the UK only. If you were to buy...

Honestly - as good as ukes get.. https://www.gotaukulele.com/2024/03/martin-beck-spruce-and-mahogany-concert.html

Yep - same with the soprano I looked at. These reboots seem to be slightly lesser finish and without the extras. Still the prices are far lower and if the quality is still good. I'm intrigued!

Review day - and a first with this wood type for me! https://www.gotaukulele.com/2024/03/snail-ukc-470-quilted-ash-concert.html

Definitely - would love to have more time with it as I am starting to 'get' how to make use of the harp strings, but my muscle memory isn't there - just feels unnatural. Can see how practice will make that stick though. Wonderful thing

Was about to say the same!

This one seemed appropriate for St Patrick's Day! https://www.gotaukulele.com/2024/03/emerald-synergy-uke-harp-ukulele-review.html

Ha ha - quite! Those damn guitars and their lowly monophonic qualities...

Certainly that!

Wondered that myself, but still - the vast majority of the volume is coming from the top, not the sides. Wonder if the weird narrow bracing is not helping. Sides are also MIGHTY thick

New line from Ibanez. Close but no cigar... https://www.gotaukulele.com/2024/03/ibanez-aut10-tenor-ukulele-review.html
