Cordoba Guilele Review
Hey out there in YouTube-land, Damon is my first Youtube year review. It's Christmas time 2011 and beautiful wife got me this terrific Cordoba Guilele as a Christmas present, arrived today in very good condition, just gave a little time to acclimate to the interior temperature of the house and tuned it up, and I've been playing a lot ever since really very impressed with this little instrument.
Cordoba has a solid spruce top and the two-piece back the deck is very straight and solid and very sturdy feeling. I'm particularly impressed with the tuning heads this may be very good quality and I think they'll hold up quite nicely over the years, appears to have a rosewood fretboard and bridge
will rosette sit around the sound hole this guilele, I should say retails for about $200 and we ordered this one online and again it had arrived in good condition, today comes with this Cordoba gig bank which is also very nice.
It's a nylon room in here for Strings and so forth so Cordoba logo stitched into the fabric, has a nice comfortable padded handle, and a padded single carrying strap and it holds the guitar quite nicely and snugly in there and it's up for safekeeping very pleased with this little instrument, so far I've been playing it a lot over the last couple of hours and it's actually got a nice little tone it's fairly loud clear, probably not something you're going to get this still camera that I'm using to shoot this video but hopefully I'm able to upload something that'll give you a little better idea of the sound quality that's available from this instrument, but I'll just play a little piece here just give you an idea what it sounds like.
And I should mention this is a stop the size of a tenor ukulele. I believe and it's a 17 inch scale it's tuned basically 1/4 above a guitar so the strings are still tuned in fourths but you're low and high strings instead of e are now a so it's it's like having a guitar capo at the 5th fret and that actually provides a nice nice sound very perky and and yet warm be good for all sorts of different kinds of music to give you a different flavor so check one out again they're available for about two hundred bucks and maybe a little more than some ukuleles yes although you can spend quite a bit more on a ukulele and a little more expensive than Yamaha was offering but I'm told the tone is worth it and I would agree so check it out the Cordoba Guilele.
