Concert size is the sweet spot for many adult beginners, and Cordoba's 15CM is one of the most popular concert ukuleles. It offers a slightly fuller sound than a soprano and more space between frets, while staying compact and affordable.
Specifications
| Size | Concert |
| Top, back and sides | Mahogany (laminate) |
| Fingerboard | Rosewood / walnut (varies by year) |
| Scale length | approx. 15" |
| Strings | Aquila Nylgut |
| Tuners | Geared |
Why concert?
The longer neck means less cramped chord shapes for adult fingers, and the bigger body gives a little more volume and warmth. Geared tuners make tuning easier and more stable than friction pegs found on the cheapest ukes.
Pros and cons
Pros: comfortable size, warm tone, good tuners and strings.
Cons: laminate body has less depth than solid-wood ukuleles; no gig bag in many packages.
Verdict
A great all-round first ukulele for teens and adults. For the warmest tone in this category, consider the solid-mahogany Martin S1 Uke.
