Demo of the Cordoba 15CM-E
Today is a great day for me. Both my Cordoba TCM and my Cordoba TCM-E arrived. I have played several Cordoba instruments, but this will be mt first experience with an electronic model. For weeks, I have wondered how the electronics work on the Cordoba TCM-E.
How the Electronics Work on the Cordoba Ukulele TCM-E
Is it necessary to connect the Cordoba Ukulele TCM-E to an external amp?
The Cordoba Ukulele TCM-E has a connection for an extp.ernal amp. But the instrument will play perfectly without an external amp.
“The 15CM-E features Cordoba’s piezo pickup offers a natural amplified tone perfect for performance. Adjust tone and volume to suit your needs, maintaining the 15CM-E’s acoustic properties. Cordoba’s expertise in crafting acoustic instruments translates to their electrondesigned to enhance rather than alter tone.”
Which Strings for the Cordoba Tenor Guitars? Aquila 10U
“Aquila’s 10U Nylgut High G Tenor ukulele string set tenor strings are comprised of a synthetic plastic compound that stays in tune with accurate fret intonation. With a density similar to pure gut, Nylgut produces a natural sound and is stable under moisture changes.
“The development of a new synthetic material that can imitate the acoustical characteristics of gut but without the typical defects such as high cost, short string life, and severe instability to changes of climate, has always been a fundamental goal of Aquila’s research. Nylgut is the result. Nylgut’s formula is protected by U.S. and International patents.
“Nylgut has a specific density and acoustical qualities nearly identical to that of gut, and is the first truly successful synthetic version of the natural product.
“Other strong points of Nylgut are its elevated resistance to wear under tension—greater than that of gut—but even more important is its extraordinary immunity to changes of climate, considerably better than that of Nylon and thereby ensuring a superior stability of tuning under normal conditions.
“Nylgut strings are quickly becoming the choice of ukulele players worldwide. Some say their instruments have been transformed by Nylgut strings. Nylgut strings for ukuleles are highly polished to a smooth surface.” Guitar Center
