Cordoba 25T Tenor Ukulele – Brilliant Tone Meets Traditional Style

Created for musicians seeking a blend of vivid projection and time-honored ukulele aesthetics, the Cordoba 25T tenor ukulele combines a solid acacia top with figured acacia back and sides. This combination results in eye-catching beauty and a dynamic, bright sound palette. Visual highlights include a maple and ebony rope-style binding, herringbone rosette, and tie-block detail, making the 25T instantly recognizable, while quality components deliver a performance-ready experience.

Distinctive Features and Craftsmanship

What sets this model apart is its use of solid exotic acacia for the top, paired with elegant rope binding and detailed maple and ebony accents. This nod to classic Portuguese and Hawaiian traditions, along with a satin finish and handcrafted appointments, ensures a visually stunning and resonant instrument that feels great in your hands.

Playability and Comfort – Optimized for Performance

Comfort and responsive feel matter at this level. With a mahogany neck shaped for easy access and a satin finish for enhanced speed and smoothness, players can focus on expression. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with pearloid inlays, and the instrument's moderate body depth provide both balance and comfort during extended sessions.

• Neck Material: Mahogany — stable, lightweight feel for accurate fretting and reliable support.
• Fingerboard Material: Rosewood — provides a smooth surface and pleasant tactile feedback for nuanced play.
• Body Depth: 73 mm (lower bout) — strikes a balance between resonance and playability.
• With 18 frets (14 to body), the 25T offers flexibility for chords and melodic lines alike.

Sound and Projection – Rich, Articulate, and Loud

Players will notice immediately how this model is designed for both volume and articulation. The solid acacia top, paired with bone nut and saddle, delivers excellent vibrational transfer, resulting in enhanced sustain and a sparkling, bright timbre. Acacia’s natural properties ensure a rounded, expressive sound that stands out in acoustic mixes.

• Top Wood: Solid Acacia — projects crisp, lively tone with bell-like sustain.
• Back & Sides: Acacia (laminate) — provides stable support and a warm base to the instrument’s sound.
• Nut & Saddle: Bone — enhances clarity and articulation across the frequency range.

Traditional Aesthetics and Reliable Details

Every detail on the 25T reflects a commitment to classic ukulele style combined with modern reliability. Maple and ebony rope-style binding is matched by a herringbone rosette, while open-gear tuners with black buttons add both function and retro-inspired charm. The thin satin polyurethane finish reveals the natural acacia grain, and Aquila New Nylgut strings complete the setup for stable, pleasing tuning.

• Binding: Maple/Ebony Rope Style — traditional, elegant visual appeal.
• Finish: Satin Polyurethane — protects the wood and enhances the acoustic character.
• When you play, the Aquila New Nylgut Tenor 10U strings provide the classic ukulele response and feel demanded by serious players.
