Was your Cordoba 15CM set up by the seller before they shipped it to you? Low cost ukes often need a decent set-up in order for them to play well.

It was set up by the seller before i got it. It just needed a good tuning and it sounds pretty good.

Mine came ready to play with strings installed. Not sure what other setup can be done.

I had never played before when I bought my ukulele. I bought it as a birthday present for myself. The first time I played it was at an ukulele workshop on Maui. I told the instrutor this when I arrived. He tuned it for me, played a couple songs on it, and told me I got a great little ukulele for the price! I was super happy to hear I had made a good choice. Before I bought I went to the Cordoba website. There you can listen to one being played. Mine came ready to play.

I don't have a Yamaha gl1 but the Cordoba sometimes has a really bad buzz sound when u play it.. Honestly the quality isn't as good as I was expecting.

I do not know what you mean by a set up. I have had my Uku for one year now. It keeps it's tone excellently and I play most days and have yet needed to even change the strings. The case is excellent ad I have travelled to many beaches with it over the year and temperature changes and it is always safe and relatively in tune.

Mine came ready to play right out of the box. That doesn't mean yours will though. Because things happen during transit that can't be controlled. But I've read somewhere that the guitars get setup by the guys in the US before they're sent to customers.

It sounds fine for practice, learning, and general playing. I restrung mine with better strings and it made a big difference. After a year and a half I still say for the money you can't go wrong.

Get in touch with the seller/amazon and ask for a refund or replacement, it's not worth trying to fix it. Buy the UDI U13a it's smaller but much better than the U12.

I'm new to all this but if I remember correctly there were several different sized ukuleles in our class and each used the same tuner...I'd call a music store and ask to see what they recommend.

Nope! The target audience was clearly someone who knew what they were doing. Missed the boat on that one! I managed to put it all together... Kind of... But something about the wiring was still off (maybe I should have used less superglue hahaha! (Yes, that was a joke, I'm not stupid enough to use super glue, Duct tape is where it's at.) Regardless of my implied incompetence, I wired it to the best of my ability, and when it still didn't work I took it to my local guitar center, and it cost about $12. That being said, anyone who would like to see how it's done properly, feel free to email me at: jbgmn9@gmail.com I'd be happy to take my bass apart and send a few photos for anyone who needs it.

It would be great. It is portable and sounds good. I bought a cordoba tenor ukulele gig bag for mine though. The supplied bag has no padding. The tenor bag i bought for it is padded and has backpack style straps.

If, by "set-up," you mean the case, tuner, etc., yes! If it says " bundle," you will get (or I did) the nice looking uke, and it's ALWAYS nice to get koa (BTW, the uke IS varnished, if thatmatters to you; along those lines, I would note that the sound is bright and happy), a tuner, cloth, and the HARD (that's good!) ukulele case. All are important to have, and I think the deal is a good one. Very happy with ours!

I've only had the guitar for a month now and it's ok... It actually looks quite solid and in my opinion it will last a while.. That being said I saw a few other mini guitars at a fraction of the price and sound good... Go to the shop and have a look before u decide!

I bought the ukulele for my daughter. She says the more you play it and get the strings stretched, the less you have to tune it. She said it took a couple of weeks and she plays it every day.

Not here. I can't imagine why one tuner would behave any differently than another. Your diagnosis is, sadly, probably correct. In addition to Amazon's return policy the uke carries a five-year limited warranty. You can call the manufacturer at (800) 877-6863 to make a specific enquiry. They are great instruments, by the way, and I think you'll find it worth your effort to get the matter resolved rather than moving to another brand.

I don't really know... but... we were looking for a 3/4 size Cordoba C3M Cadete which we ended up purchasing from a different dealer. We were shipped a full size guitar instead of the 3/4. Apparently the model numbers are the same for both but we ended up with a full size the first time and had it marked up before the instructor had had a chance to look it over. Just a warning to make sure you are getting the correct size guitar as they might have the same model number. I have one guitar instructor that just loves the Cordoba brand of guitars and would like to see us buy more.

Yes, but setups can be a personal taste as well. Mine was fine, the intonation was fair to good but the action was a little higher than I prefer so I did some adjustments to make mine feel the way I like it. Other's may like theirs the way it's delivered fine, but almost every Epiphone gets setup before shipping...now whether it was done by a monkey or a luthier is the real question

I think they're quite good actually. They take a couple of days of work to stay in tune but after that this uke sounds pretty amazing. People are always surprised by it. It's pretty loud too.

I have several uke cases that barely accommodate the ukes for them. If I were you I would purchase a slightly larger case. Good luck to you.
