Lots of Cordobas
My first ukulele was a cheerful laminate mahogany concert Cordoba 15CM from Elderly. Nice reasonably priced starter.
Next got a solid acacia 35T tenor from Elderly. Solid midrange with warm sustain in a variety of tunings. Love the 1.5" nut and thin (shallow) neck.
Was looking for a solid top tenor during COVID. Local store had a spruce/ebony 21T that sounded flat and lacked the typical understated appearance of Cordobas. Instead opted for a mahogany 20TM that rings like a bell.
I've had good experience with Cordobas out-of-the-box. Tenors have a nice light weight, feel and warm sustain at reasonable prices. Often string them with Freemont soloist wound low G and Worth browns.
Also enjoy my related spruce/rosewood Tiny Tenor and mahogany tenor Signature/Replica from Romero. All have beautiful warm sound/sustain and comfortable necks.
