Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience! I had it ready yesterday, but I needed more time to double check a few things. I played the same ditty so that you could fast forward or rewind to compare the different models side by side. Love you!
I really like that you did this type of video. So many times when one is looking / wanting something it is helpful to have not only the viewing of the instruments but hearing them play. So many places just don't have good quality and well stocked music stores that one can go in and try out things. Some times going into a music store is intimating when you don't really know what exactly you are looking for. I have looked at the Cordobas so many times online and have almost ordered one; the 15 in a tenor size especially. There is such a huge range of reviews and comments. Love the simple detailing on the Cordobas. I have been wanting a solid top mahogany uke. Please do more of these, so helpful.
I’m so happy that you found this helpful. I really could have made a review on every single one of them individually, but I thought I’d try something new. Thank you for your feedback, and I really appreciate you watching 😀😀❤️😀.
Wonderful overview of so many models in a variety of price categories. A showcase for different choices in wood, spruce tops, mahogany tops, etc with an excellent explanation of what each contributes to tonal quality. In future it would be nice to see the inclusion of baritone ukuleles for those of us that enjoy the tonal qualities of a more 'full bodied' instrument. Thank you for this review of the Cordoba line of instruments, it really gives me something to ponder. I love the fact that the fretboard is bonded, hate 'fret sprout'! Cheers!!
Cordoba ukuleles are absolutely adorable! I love their style, natural wood colors without additional paint. I own Cordoba 20 TM-CE with cutaway and I fell in love with its shape and sound it makes, it sounds clear, bright and crisp. It's pleasure to play and listen to. My favourite uke
It’s great to hear your opinion 😀. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your instrument. Hearing your first hand costumer experience is always the best feedback when it comes to products. Thank you for watching, and thank you for being here.
I love my 15 CM-E! That thing holds its tune like nothing else I've experienced. If you are starting out get the 15 series. I love that you reviewed the spruce top 21 series. There is not a lot of reviews on that model on it on the youtubes. It was great to hear it compared with the others. In fact, that is next on my ukulele wish list. Thanks you for doing a brand comparison. It was great.
Yes! Love that uke, and I'm glad to hear your honest thoughts. Sounds like many people are happy with this uke. I'm glad that you liked the overall format. It was a lot of work, and I hope it didn't overwhelm people. I hope you have a great day!
I am a beginner ukulele player. I learned to play on a pretty cheap beginner soprano and needed more room on the fretboard and warmer sound so I have been researching concert ukes. Your videos have been extremely helpful and watching you play is exquisite. You give every model equal attention and I can tell you just love playing. You have me considering tenors now. I am petite (5’0”) so I thought I needed a concert at the biggest but some of the tenors you’ve played have such a great sound. I do love the look of the Cordobas with the abalone around soundboard and the binding. My favorite you played on this video was the 35 T. Of course one one of your previous videos you played a Tunnel 13 and if I hit the lottery that one would be my first choice lol. Ty for helping me figure out all of my must haves and explaining different features so well. I’m so grateful I came across your channel.
I'm planning on learning how to play ukuleles and my mom bought me the 15-CM uke online and I'm so excited to get it in my handss. Good to hear that it's good for beginners 👍
I have several students with the 15 Cm, and they love it! I think it's a great choice. Congratulations on your new ukulele!!!! Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Katie, I bought my first uke about 5 months ago after watching your review on the 25S. Although an investment for a first-timer, i can not stay away! This review confirmed my upgrade choice. There are beautiful ukes out there but as you described, the 35T-CE just steals my heart. Your reviews are professional and I appreciate your candidness on the smaller items to watch for.
Just recieved my 30T-CE and am blown away with its quality. The fit and finish, the resonance and the tonal quality is simply amazing! I comoared it to another highly recommended brand at a similar price. The 30T-CE was far superior in all aspects. I am looking forward to enjoying this wonderful instrument for many years to come. And, the deluxe foam case is outstanding and will definitely protect the 30T-CE!
Every time you started playing a new one, I was like, Ooooh, love that one... Ooooh, love that one... What a great idea! Which do you think has the clearest, brightest tone? Which do you think plays the best high on the fretboard? That's what I'm looking for 😊
I was thinking the same thing while editing 😂😂😂😂. Yes, I would say that they all play very well on the upper part of the fretboard, but that’s just my opinion. If you can, try as many as you can to see what feels like home to you.
Wow! I picked up a Córdoba 20TM-CE about three years ago from the Music Center (Killeen, Texas) and I love it dearly. It is my daily go to uke when I need reentrant tuning for a song (I did not put a "low G" on it). It has a beautiful voice; I strongly recommend it! Thanks for making and sharing this video Katie!
It’s awesome to hear what costumers have to say. I’m so happy that I has held it’s integrity for the past three years. The mahogany is only going to get better with time 😀. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It means a lot and it’s going to help someone in the future.
Katie, I enjoy all your vids. I have a 25tce on the way for Christmas (mainly because of your review and if it’s good enough for you, it’ll dang sure be good enough for anything I ever do). I have a tenor already (solid koa in low G) and want another so that I can keep one in re-entrant and one in low G. I realized some time ago that one doesn’t need to spend thousands for high quality instruments. With a proper setup, I’ll be very happy and it has electronics so won’t have to install one after the fact. Keep up the good work! God Bless.
Excellent video, I am thinking on upgrading my current uke in a few years to something more premium and that Cordoba 35TCE just got my attention. It is so pretty and I would be deciding between that and a Kala KA-KTGE-C (which is Tyler Jospeh's uke). Thank you so much Katie, I love your videos.
If you can play them side by side, that is the best scenario. Try as many as you can and find the one that feels like home to you. If you don’t have the 35T somewhere near you, maybe you could visit Appleton and try one 😀😀😀😀.
I'm not generally brand loyal but I have three Cordoba ukes, a guitar, and guilele. I do like individual instruments from other makers but Cordoba's entire line is really solid.
Absolutely love this kind of review.... especially for many of us who don't have large music stores nearby!! Definitely looking at a Cordoba! Keep safe and healthy!
You are so right about Cordoba feeling like home. I have an 20SM and 20TMCE plus an Ohana 38k (all solid mahogany soprano). The Ohana is set up well . It is much louder than the 20SM (solid top mahogany soprano)and definitely has more bark. However, the feel of the Cordoba neck and sweeter tone makes it more enjoyable to play. Also their subtle details such as tie block, inlays and slightly rounded frets for this price point are outstanding. The 20TM tenor cutaway was my first Ukulele and the tone has just got better and better over the years. Fluorocarbon strings are the way to go with both. Thank you for doing this review!
I have been looking at reviews of the Cordoba Ukuleles for a couple of months. I love the looks of the 25t and the 30 series. I ended up ordering a 35t today from my local music store. Your review was the one that tipped the scale for me.
Oh my goodness! So great to hear your thoughts, and what a great testament to Cordoba as a brand that it has lasted and withstood the test of time. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.
Oh man!!!! I know what you mean. My husband always asks me why I need another uke... but honey, this one is different 😂. Even saying “honey” doesn’t work.
Good question. The low G is great for certain pieces such as a fingerpicking song with passing bass notes. It’s a fun way to experiment with your sound and it won’t break the bank.
@@OneMusicSchool Thank you, I'd like to try one (finger picking song with a passing base note) . Do you have any suggestions? Do you have one that you have done a tutorial for? 😀 Thanks again in advance!
Great question. I'll send you two Collaborations that I did with Rock Class 101 with Low Gs. I'll Link them below. Because : Beatles - th-cam.com/video/S1C5Qm6tRG4/w-d-xo.html Better Together - th-cam.com/video/G8HqcdS97ZM/w-d-xo.html
good reviews , thanks , but i suppose the best way to compare is checking low frets or high notes , most of instruments in low notes are good , but downer frets is what we can say a guitar body or construction can vibes and has a good resonance
actually about ukuleles because of the shorter strings and smaller body lower frets under 10 we have not clear and nice sound , if there is a ukulele with good sound in under 10 fret position so it is number one ,
Thanks , I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to tenor or just a better concert after playing two years. Would you suggest Cordoba 15Cm acoustic electric or 20TM Cordoba?
Cool Katie, Cool of Heid Music, Cool Córdoba's! "Ahhh":) yes same, that 35T 😱 Like this type of video. Cool history of Córdova's uke's heritage in the description and thanks for the links. Same song greatly helps too. 🎶💜💚💛🎶
Hi Katie, and thanks for the great review. Based on your review, yet unknowingly, I ended up buying the exact Cordoba 35T that is shown in your video, and it's a great instrument. I compared the 35T-CE with cutaway and the 35T, and the 35T made a big difference to me (Not so much because of the cutaway but I believe the wood just happened to be better on this particular 35T. I have since lowered the string action a bit, and I'm still considering to put other type strings on (less heavy/ thick strings). This uke is now my favorite "fingerpicking" uke. I still use my older Cordoba 25-CK for strumming (easier to play and better sound on lower frets). Not crazy about the "Made in China" sticker but I was looking for a high quality budget instrument (which it is), as there wasn't much to chose from between the $200 and $1200 range. Please let me know if you have any type of string recommendations, and thanks again for your singing review.
I have a 25TM-CE Tenor Cutaway that is very satisfactory. It has great tone, playability and is attractive to boot. I presume it is a laminate but mine sounds like more. I appreciate that it has the electric option though I hardly ever use it that way. I want to add a soprano so I’m looking into the solid acacia 25S. I would be thrilled if you could do a review of that Cordoba model. Thanks for another terrific video. I’m a big fan. 👨🏻🦳🎶 MikeinMinnesota
Hello! Which one would you prefer, the Cordoba Concert 15 cm or the Kala Concert Exotic Mahogany? I'm a beginner but would like my uke to last for a long time :)
I heard u say that u played n a large church and there is a pic of the auditorium and it looks like the church at Shadow Mountain where Dr David Jeremiah is pastor. Is this that church that u play in?
I like Cordoba ukuleles and I bought a Concert 28 series in a local store in Milan. I like its its sound but I'm disappointed because turned out to be out of tune. I didn’t expect this brand !
Yes Katie, an unbalanced Uke is not fun to play.........In my case, it is the player that is unbalanced...:)........The 25T-CE looks really good and sounds pretty good too (nice Mello sound).......I like the long looking neck.......good choice.......35TCE (WOW!) Really nice sustain!.......Great reviews, Katie!.......I think that this company makes very nice Ukes.........Of course, the player (you) bring out the best in these!....:)..Have a great day!.....Week!....Month!....Year!.....Ok, life!.....:)
This video is so helpful! I’m planning to get my first ukelele soon and I am considering to get the 15cm or 20cm. In your opinion which one should I get for my first ukulele?
I’m so happy that this helped, and that’s a great question. I think it all boils down to size because size will play a huge factor as far as comfort and playability. I made two really in depth videos for people looking to purchase a uke and there are lots of sound samples and options. Hoped that will help you make a decision.
Hello, I appreciated this video. I am considering learning uke and didn't know where to start. My question is, I am left handed does that matter when choosing a uke?
#notificationsquad Omg I forgot about your channel😂😅 You've grown sooo fast I can't believe I was one of your subs when you had just 30k and now you have 171k congrats❤
Imo... I feel Cordoba brand makes every guitar and uku with the same quality and care, no matter the model. Whether it's a starter kit, or a high-end.. the quality is seen in the small details. Stick a GoPro inside a 15t and then any other 50-150$ uku on the market and you'll see what I mean. What does that mean for us though? It means that the uku or guitar you learned on with an entry level is good enough to follow you through your musical journey in life. So many times I've seen people "grow out of" their instruments, because their entry level isn't good enough for jam sessions, records or gigs. I feel that true Cordoba fans never trade in or upgrade their instrument, they just add another Axe to their arsenal. Like you mentioned.. maybe you now need one with electronics or a cut away, or different size.
I checked ur church. The reviews say that this is a gospel preaching church! Finding a church that preaches the gospel is hard to find anywhere! Good for u ! Serve Him with all u have, His coming back is very, very close ! What a great incouragement the thought heaven brings to our soul !! On another note I c u teach music, do u sell instruments also ? If I may ask,, do u think that the Córdoba 15TM-CE is the best I can buy for $144 r do u fell that there would b a better brand & model? I hope u don’t think that I am out of line asking this. In our Savior’ s service, b safe !!
Nope, not at all. I teach out of a store called Heid Music. I do love Córdoba. You might like to try Ohana, Lanikai, or Kala ukuleles. I do have quite a bit of those brands that I’ve reviewed on my channel and in the uke buyers guide that I sent you. Is there one that stood out to you?
One Music School, I don’t have the chance to try any of the ukuleles bac I live n the country, so I’m gonna buy from reviews that I have watched. I know I should play sum b4 I buy but ......
i look forwards for techandgear tuesday. i like the 23s model idk there is something about the sound of the sopranos that makes them special at least for me i would had gone for the 25c cause i wanna try a concert size but im gonna be honest with you katie im a bit upset at you cause you didnt upload this last week i know its not your fault so please dont feel bad about it i like your videos and ill keep watching and studyin them regardless but i ended up buyng a concert ukulele i only wanted to spend $500 but got a bit carry away and ended up paying a bit over $2000 plus another $400 for an acustic amp you should had uploaded this video last week and you could had save me a lot of money :( "YOU WERE THE CHOOSEN ONE" (thats from star wars episode III revenge of the sith im not saying that you are dark vader its just a quote he was good at the end but im not saying that you are bad nvm just forget i said that lol) i know you didnt ask but i bought a kanilea had a pickup install on it and got a fender acoustic 100 amp just if you were wondering and in restrospect the 25 c would had been enough its not like im a pro or anything i keep messing up my E Chords and sorry my comments are always long i talk a lot xD
I really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts. Truth be told, if the $2000 uke spoke to you, you should be happy with that one. It sounds like it was one of the special Ks (Kaniela, Koaloha, Kamaka). If it feels like home to you, it doesn't matter what other ukes you encounter:). You found your baby. The 25 C is nice, but something that costs what you have probably has much better tone wood and higher end finishes. What did you purchase. I'm curious.
@@OneMusicSchool i got kanile'a premium koa slothead concert (kcs- c thru-r g s#19612) lol thats a long name and had a pick up install call lr baggs 5.0 and that was another $200 if you copy and paste the name of the ukulele on googleyou will find it on the site i bought it but its gonna read sold out but you can still see the pic and there was a video sample of the instrument but is no longer there the guy playing it is call kalei gamiao and he plays the ukulele like a god i was like 🤩🤩 you had me at the first strum. the only thing that is disappointing for me is that once i get the ukulele is i know for a fact that is not going to sound nothing like kalei 😭 you can copy paste his name on youtube watch 1 of his videos playin the ukelele he and a guy call corey they are pretty good
@@OneMusicSchool this why i love your channel i like interacting with you and also Bernadette she said she saw you performing at namm and i saw her on your video too so i guess you know her she looks like my sister lol im getting off topic again. thats why i also support you and Bernadette on patreon i like to support creators also cynthia lin but she never replys to my comments not even a like 😢 but you and Bernadette do 😍 so you 2 are my favorites
I'm very familiar with Kanilea, and they do great work. You didn't waste your money at all supporting such a great company. Kalei is amazing, and I have such great respect for him. I know what you mean. It's can be really inspiring and yet heartbreaking to witness such talent. I feel your pain. I'm teaching a uke camp with some amazingly talented people in a couple of weeks, and I have to perform right along side of them :). Enjoy the instrument, play it, and keep going. Just keep in mind that no one has "arrived". I have to tell myself that as well.
I enjoy chatting with you all. It's the human part of TH-cam that I enjoy the most, and I'm grateful for your support. It means a lot to me that you all would take the time to watch and support what I do.
Hi, my name is Derwyn and I came to this video because I’m about to purchase a 15TM-CE and was hoping that u was goin to review one :( , but u didn’t. Maybe u will do one soon :). I enjoyed the comparison that u did with the other ukes! Thx, D
Hi and thanks for watching! I do have a mini review of the 15TM-CE in the video below. Maybe it will help 😀. Have a great day! th-cam.com/video/LZkYKPgM6oc/w-d-xo.html
Hmmm, that’s strange. It’s worked for people in the past. Well, if you look up “How to Upgrade Your Ukulele” the video has several Córdoba ukuleles including the 15TM-CE.
Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience! I had it ready yesterday, but I needed more time to double check a few things. I played the same ditty so that you could fast forward or rewind to compare the different models side by side. Love you!
One Music School what do you think about the 20cm?
I love these comparison videos! So helpful for those of us who don't have a uke store nearby to see these in person. Thanks!
I really like that you did this type of video. So many times when one is looking / wanting something it is helpful to have not only the viewing of the instruments but hearing them play. So many places just don't have good quality and well stocked music stores that one can go in and try out things.

I have looked at the Cordobas so many times online and have almost ordered one; the 15 in a tenor size especially. There is such a huge range of reviews and comments. Love the simple detailing on the Cordobas. I have been wanting a solid top mahogany uke. Please do more of these, so helpful.

Wonderful overview of so many models in a variety of price categories. A showcase for different choices in wood, spruce tops, mahogany tops, etc with an excellent explanation of what each contributes to tonal quality. In future it would be nice to see the inclusion of baritone ukuleles for those of us that enjoy the tonal qualities of a more 'full bodied' instrument. Thank you for this review of the Cordoba line of instruments, it really gives me something to ponder. I love the fact that the fretboard is bonded, hate 'fret sprout'! Cheers!!

I may have to try one. Does the low G change affect the song choice? Is the high G more traditional?
Good question. The low G is great for certain pieces such as a fingerpicking song with passing bass notes. It’s a fun way to experiment with your sound and it won’t break the bank.
@@OneMusicSchool Thank you, I'd like to try one (finger picking song with a passing base note) . Do you have any suggestions? Do you have one that you have done a tutorial for? 😀
Thanks again in advance!
Great question. I'll send you two Collaborations that I did with Rock Class 101 with Low Gs. I'll Link them below.

They are all beautiful, but I am more interested in the baritone ukuleles.
What do you think of the 28C
Hey Katie do you think you can make a review of the lanakai quilted maple red tenor?
good reviews , thanks , but i suppose the best way to compare is checking low frets or high notes , most of instruments in low notes are good , but downer frets is what we can say a guitar body or construction can vibes and has a good resonance
actually about ukuleles because of the shorter strings and smaller body lower frets under 10 we have not clear and nice sound , if there is a ukulele with good sound in under 10 fret position so it is number one ,
Thanks , I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to tenor or just a better concert after playing two years. Would you suggest Cordoba 15Cm acoustic electric or 20TM Cordoba?
I am in love with my 20 TM CE Cordoba ❤️
Cool Katie,
Cool of Heid Music,
Cool Córdoba's!
"Ahhh":) yes same, that 35T 😱 Like this type of video. Cool history of Córdova's uke's heritage
in the description and thanks for the links. Same song greatly helps too. 🎶💜💚💛🎶
Would you mind to do some guitar reviews on your guitars or ones you recomend?
I love that you asked that. I’ve been debating whether or not to do something along the lines of guitar recommendations. Thanks for the suggestion 😀.
Hi how much is 35t ce?
Can you do a tutorial of Micah Tyler's "Even Then"
Love that song!!!
Hi Katie, and thanks for the great review.
Based on your review, yet unknowingly, I ended up buying the exact Cordoba 35T that is shown in your video, and it's a great instrument.
I compared the 35T-CE with cutaway and the 35T, and the 35T made a big difference to me (Not so much because of the cutaway but I believe the wood just happened to be better on this particular 35T. I have since lowered the string action a bit, and I'm still considering to put other type strings on (less heavy/ thick strings).
This uke is now my favorite "fingerpicking" uke. I still use my older Cordoba 25-CK for strumming (easier to play and better sound on lower frets).
Not crazy about the "Made in China" sticker but I was looking for a high quality budget instrument (which it is), as there wasn't much to chose from between the $200 and $1200 range.
Please let me know if you have any type of string recommendations, and thanks again for your singing review.
Looking for a hard case for a Tenor ukulele
That is a ton of sustain.
Yes, I agree :). Thanks for watching!
How come the price ON this list is difference from your screen
I have a 25TM-CE Tenor Cutaway that is very satisfactory. It has great tone, playability and is attractive to boot. I presume it is a laminate but mine sounds like more. I appreciate that it has the electric option though I hardly ever use it that way. I want to add a soprano so I’m looking into the solid acacia 25S. I would be thrilled if you could do a review of that Cordoba model. Thanks for another terrific video. I’m a big fan. 👨🏻🦳🎶 MikeinMinnesota
5:00 is that a soprano or a tenor Im so confused 😂😂
Está genial!!!
Gracias!!!!
Hey! Im between the 20t-cm and the 25t-cm but I dont know which to buy! Could you help me out please?
Cordoba isn’t a brand i’ve considered. But there are some classic beauties!
Hello! Which one would you prefer, the Cordoba Concert 15 cm or the Kala Concert Exotic Mahogany? I'm a beginner but would like my uke to last for a long time :)
They are definitely beautiful instruments, but I am more interested in the baritone ukuleles.
I heard u say that u played n a large church and there is a pic of the auditorium and it looks like the church at Shadow Mountain where Dr David Jeremiah is pastor. Is this that church that u play in?
Hi! Good to see you again. No, I don’t serve there, but David Jeremiah is awesome! I serve at a church in Wisconsin called Appleton Alliance.
I like Cordoba ukuleles and I bought a Concert 28 series in a local store in Milan. I like its its sound but I'm disappointed because turned out to be out of tune. I didn’t expect this brand !
Yes Katie, an unbalanced Uke is not fun to play.........In my case, it is the player that is unbalanced...:)........The 25T-CE looks really good and sounds pretty good too (nice Mello sound).......I like the long looking neck.......good choice.......35TCE (WOW!) Really nice sustain!.......Great reviews, Katie!.......I think that this company makes very nice Ukes.........Of course, the player (you) bring out the best in these!....:)..Have a great day!.....Week!....Month!....Year!.....Ok, life!.....:)
Greg, you have no idea how much you encourage me, and I’m so grateful for you. Thanks for being here.
You are a really good teacher/instructor Katie and I do not want to see you stop anytime soon....:)......I guess that is my greed.......:)
You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you.
This video is so helpful! I’m planning to get my first ukelele soon and I am considering to get the 15cm or 20cm. In your opinion which one should I get for my first ukulele?
I’m so happy that this helped, and that’s a great question. I think it all boils down to size because size will play a huge factor as far as comfort and playability. I made two really in depth videos for people looking to purchase a uke and there are lots of sound samples and options. Hoped that will help you make a decision.

Hello, I appreciated this video. I am considering learning uke and didn't know where to start. My question is, I am left handed does that matter when choosing a uke?
I have a Kadence wanderer saprano sized uke..

Omg I forgot about your channel😂😅
You've grown sooo fast I can't believe I was one of your subs when you had just 30k and now you have 171k congrats❤
Thank you for being here and for sticking with me. It means so much. I'm blown away at the way God has blessed this channel, so I owe it to him :).
solid vid!
Hi
Do u have an email that u would share, not on here, but another avenue?
Yes, info@onemusicschool.com
Imo... I feel Cordoba brand makes every guitar and uku with the same quality and care, no matter the model. Whether it's a starter kit, or a high-end.. the quality is seen in the small details. Stick a GoPro inside a 15t and then any other 50-150$ uku on the market and you'll see what I mean.
What does that mean for us though? It means that the uku or guitar you learned on with an entry level is good enough to follow you through your musical journey in life. So many times I've seen people "grow out of" their instruments, because their entry level isn't good enough for jam sessions, records or gigs.
I feel that true Cordoba fans never trade in or upgrade their instrument, they just add another Axe to their arsenal. Like you mentioned.. maybe you now need one with electronics or a cut away, or different size.
Love this video!!!
It’s me again....
Hiiiii!!!!
I checked ur church. The reviews say that this is a gospel preaching church! Finding a church that preaches the gospel is hard to find anywhere! Good for u ! Serve Him with all u have, His coming back is very, very close ! What a great incouragement the thought heaven brings to our soul !!
On another note I c u teach music, do u sell instruments also ? If I may ask,, do u think that the Córdoba 15TM-CE is the best I can buy for $144 r do u fell that there would b a better brand & model? I hope u don’t think that I am out of line asking this.
In our Savior’ s service, b safe !!
Nope, not at all. I teach out of a store called Heid Music. I do love Córdoba. You might like to try Ohana, Lanikai, or Kala ukuleles. I do have quite a bit of those brands that I’ve reviewed on my channel and in the uke buyers guide that I sent you. Is there one that stood out to you?
One Music School, I don’t have the chance to try any of the ukuleles bac I live n the country, so I’m gonna buy from reviews that I have watched. I know I should play sum b4 I buy but ......
i look forwards for techandgear tuesday. i like the 23s model idk there is something about the sound of the sopranos that makes them special at least for me i would had gone for the 25c cause i wanna try a concert size but im gonna be honest with you katie im a bit upset at you cause you didnt upload this last week i know its not your fault so please dont feel bad about it i like your videos and ill keep watching and studyin them regardless but i ended up buyng a concert ukulele i only wanted to spend $500 but got a bit carry away and ended up paying a bit over $2000 plus another $400 for an acustic amp you should had uploaded this video last week and you could had save me a lot of money :( "YOU WERE THE CHOOSEN ONE" (thats from star wars episode III revenge of the sith im not saying that you are dark vader its just a quote he was good at the end but im not saying that you are bad nvm just forget i said that lol) i know you didnt ask but i bought a kanilea had a pickup install on it and got a fender acoustic 100 amp just if you were wondering and in restrospect the 25 c would had been enough its not like im a pro or anything i keep messing up my E Chords and sorry my comments are always long i talk a lot xD
I really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts. Truth be told, if the $2000 uke spoke to you, you should be happy with that one. It sounds like it was one of the special Ks (Kaniela, Koaloha, Kamaka). If it feels like home to you, it doesn't matter what other ukes you encounter:). You found your baby. The 25 C is nice, but something that costs what you have probably has much better tone wood and higher end finishes. What did you purchase. I'm curious.
@@OneMusicSchool i got kanile'a premium koa slothead concert (kcs- c thru-r g s#19612) lol thats a long name and had a pick up install call lr baggs 5.0 and that was another $200 if you copy and paste the name of the ukulele on googleyou will find it on the site i bought it but its gonna read sold out but you can still see the pic and there was a video sample of the instrument but is no longer there the guy playing it is call kalei gamiao and he plays the ukulele like a god i was like 🤩🤩 you had me at the first strum. the only thing that is disappointing for me is that once i get the ukulele is i know for a fact that is not going to sound nothing like kalei 😭 you can copy paste his name on youtube watch 1 of his videos playin the ukelele he and a guy call corey they are pretty good
@@OneMusicSchool this why i love your channel i like interacting with you and also Bernadette she said she saw you performing at namm and i saw her on your video too so i guess you know her she looks like my sister lol im getting off topic again. thats why i also support you and Bernadette on patreon i like to support creators also cynthia lin but she never replys to my comments not even a like 😢 but you and Bernadette do 😍 so you 2 are my favorites
I'm very familiar with Kanilea, and they do great work. You didn't waste your money at all supporting such a great company. Kalei is amazing, and I have such great respect for him. I know what you mean. It's can be really inspiring and yet heartbreaking to witness such talent. I feel your pain. I'm teaching a uke camp with some amazingly talented people in a couple of weeks, and I have to perform right along side of them :). Enjoy the instrument, play it, and keep going. Just keep in mind that no one has "arrived". I have to tell myself that as well.
I enjoy chatting with you all. It's the human part of TH-cam that I enjoy the most, and I'm grateful for your support. It means a lot to me that you all would take the time to watch and support what I do.
Hi, my name is Derwyn and I came to this video because I’m about to purchase a 15TM-CE and was hoping that u was goin to review one :( , but u didn’t. Maybe u will do one soon :). I enjoyed the comparison that u did with the other ukes!
Thx, D
Hi and thanks for watching! I do have a mini review of the 15TM-CE in the video below. Maybe it will help 😀. Have a great day!
th-cam.com/video/LZkYKPgM6oc/w-d-xo.html
The link u sent doesn’t work :(
Hmmm, that’s strange. It’s worked for people in the past. Well, if you look up “How to Upgrade Your Ukulele” the video has several Córdoba ukuleles including the 15TM-CE.
I hope that helps 😀.
What do u think bout this model for a beginner ?
I heard so much good stuff about Cordoba that I went looking for a Cordoba Acoustic Electric Baritone.....NOPE!
