Product Description

Inspired by South American string instruments, the Cuatro looks like it would naturally belong in the ukulele family. Despite the fact that it has four strings like a uke, this Venezuelan instrument has a distinct sound of its own, tending to serve as the rhythmic and harmonic base. For this reason, the Cuatro has a mahogany tap plate built seamlessly onto the spruce top.

The Cuatro is popular for its simplistic design and compact size (521mm or 20.5 inch scale length), and is a versatile instrument fit for all styles and varieties of music. The Cuatro has a solid European spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany tap plate. Tuned to standard D, B, G, E. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Cordoba Guitars products.

"Is like a baritone uke more than a venezuelan cuatro. But for a uke, it is a nice product."
Sound: I was expecting it to have the same depth of sound as a Venezuelan cuatro, but it is not the same. It looks and sounds like a baritone uke to me, so I was a little disappointed. I could not get it to tune the same way, so I had to order different strings for it, so will see if that makes a difference. Feature: It is a cute instrument, but again not what I expected. When the item stated cuatro, I should have looked at it more closely, especially with the measurements to see that it is not a true venezuelan cuatro, but like a baritone uke. Ease of Use: It is easy to use and sounds great - again for a uke. I am a beginner, but I think there is an easy learning curve for this instrument. It is easy to handle and it seems to play nicely. Quality: Yes seems to be well made and comes with a very nice case. Value: I think it is a little spendy for what I have seen in other ukes......for my level I guess........ But the quality is good.....probably. I was willing to spend more because I thought it was a venezuelan cuatro. Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: It is a fine instrument for my needs, will have to see how the other strings work with it. Overall: Yes I would search more for the true venezuelan cuatro, which is about the same size, but it has a deeper body.
