A suitable choice for those just getting into the instrument, the classic blue 15CM Matiz from Cordoba is a concert-range ukulele in a colorful sleek satin finish. Its top, back, and sides are constructed out of mahogany, which lends a full, rich timbre to the instrument. The mahogany neck offers a maple fingerboard with 18 frets. Dotted inlays at the fifth, seventh, tenth, and 12th frets provide a visual indication of where you are on the fingerboard. The bridge is fashioned from maple, while the saddle and nut are composite material. Aesthetic touches adorn the instrument, such as a ghost rosette around the soundhole and ivory-colored binding spanning the handcrafted body and fingerboard. The open-gear tuning machines are silver with pearl buttons. A color-matching nylon gig bag is included.
