What's great about it: the value, the build quality, and pretty much everything else.
What's not so great: perhaps the pitch pipe? be even then it's rather useful.
This is my first ukulele and I have to say, I'm really happy that I got this one. I'm a rather experienced violist and was looking to get into a different kind of stringed instrument, and the ukulele was my first pick!
The build quality is great- this instrument looks very well put together. The edges are put together almost seamlessly. It is very light and looks better put together than my friends' Luna and Lanikai ukuleles, both of which were more expensive than what I paid for this one (about $65 including tax). The gig bag is great, and the pitch pipe helped me a bit at first, but I've come to realize that the G is a bit off. I've got a digital tuner that I previously purchased for my viola, so I don't have much use for the pitch pipe anymore, though it is a good thing to have if you don't know how to tune by ear.
Overall, I love this ukulele, and I think that this one is a great choice for anyone who's a bit confused as to what kind of ukulele they should purchase.

What's great about it: Price, sounds nice, gig bag is a nice touch!
What's not so great: Tuning knob poorly fit
Purchased this for a beginner. Was pleasantly surprised that it was on sale. It sounds sweet!
Out of the box, was impressed with the appearance. It had oil residue over the back of the head and neck. Except for soiling my shirt, it cleanly wiped off.
Pitch pipe? .... window-dressing. Took the 'sale savings' and bought an electronic tuner.... also on sale!
The gig bag makes for an excellent dust cover and tote.
The manual is scant but attractive. I would suggest separating the colored lines from the piano keys to the fret board be separated so there is no question on the specific string assigned the note.
Issues:
1. The C tuning knob has play in it such that it is hard to zero in on the note. Perhaps once the string settles in it may not be an issue, for this set of strings. The string now needs constant tuning.
2. There is an occasional "twangy" vibration that comes from the bridge area. It may be user error in holding or positioning, time will tell.... needs further investigation and observation.

There is a 30-day return policy which should allow for sufficient time for these issues to be evaluated. Otherwise, this is an excellent purchase / bang-for-the-buck!

What's great about it: Price, quality, and entertainment
What's not so great: Have to tune it all the time but that's with all instruments
Got this on sale for $60. With my rewardzone certificates and a gift card, I got this baby for under $20 including tax. I think it's a great starter instrument for someone who wants to learn a ukulele. It comes with a soft shell case, starter booklet, and a pitch tuner.
I would recommend using a chromatic tuner which is much better than the provided tuner. I feel like if you put this down for like 10 minutes, it's out of tune. That's the only downside but it's still new so the strings haven't gotten accustomed to being played.
If you register your instrument through Cordoba and put a review up, they'll give you a free set of strings or wash cloth for your ukulele.
My girlfriend and I love to practice the ukulele. We would some times have trouble sharing it! I did buy it so I am entitled to more time with it. Great way getting the foundation down before buying a more serious instrument.

What's great about it: price, sound, appearance, and case
What's not so great: no complaints on this purchase
Had a uke from Barnes and Nobles with steel strings, and replaced it with this. This feels and looks professional. Has incredible sound, and was a nice price. Comes with a case too which sweetened the deal.

Not the fanciest uke available, but as an entry level ukulele it more that fits the bill. Bought this a present for my wife for Christmas and spent a month practicing songs to surprise her with Christmas morning. After a month straight of 1/2 or more daily usage, it held up great. No major tuning issues, sounds great, and most importantly... Christmas was a hit. If you're looking for a great beginning instrument I highly recommend this uke.

What's great about it: All around great beginner uke.
What's not so great: Nothing!
Always wanted to mess around and have fun with a uke but having some time, the price and the quality of the Cordoba offered by Best Buy made me make the buy. Very happy with the quality of the instrument and it will sound better once I get better! And a case to keep it nice. Lots of fun already. Thanks

I have always wanted a ukulele so my boyfriend bought me this one for Valentine's day. This is a great little uke! Sounds great, very durable ( falls a lot due to boyfriend, cats, dog) I am going to replace the strings tho. Lots of Uke blogs suggesting buying better strings helps the sound quality a lot. Overall I am supper happy with this Ukulele!

What's great about it: Look, feel, volume, intonation, tuning, sustain, bold sound, great neck and frets, gig bag, price
What's not so great: pitch pipe is unnecessary and cheap (just use a real tuner instead)
This is a great starter uke. I would get this thing for any person interested in ukulele and has not purchased one yet.
I was actually amazed to find this in BestBuy. I'm a pro musician (trumpet, keys, guitar) and have been considering picking up a starter uke for fun at home with the kids. I didn't feel like spending my extra gift cards on MORE blu-rays or gadgets that will sit on my shelf so I wandered around the store and was thrilled to find this tucked away behind the entry level guitars and keyboards. I scanned the upc with my android phone and saw the positive online reviews at a few respected websites and the price was on point (good luck finding a better or even comparable uke for 100 bucks anywhere).
I picked this up at xmas and have been playing on it daily. Intonation is darn near perfect, it has friction tuners (for 100 bucks? really?), a warm bold and loud sound. Nice feel, light and balanced, can move up and down the neck with ease. On top of the wonderful sound quality and construction - it looks pretty darn sweet.
Highly recommended for this price range. I'd even consider playing this at a gig for a tune or two.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: sound, size, craftsmanship, great price
What's not so great: nothing!
This uke is wonderful!! I tried a few out at guitar center and decided on this one. It was cheaper at BestBuy so I bought it there. I play bass but needed a bright sound to add to a few songs. So far i've had no problems. I had to tune it out of the box, which can be expected, but it sounds so clear!! The pitch pipe that came with it was handy for that. It has a very warm sound and the strings have kept up pretty well. If you plan to use it live it might be better to upgrade those. The case is pretty nice too, but its soft so i wouldn't depend on it if you plan to pack it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: price, craftsmanship, 3 yr warranty
I've been shopping around for a ukulele for a few months. I'm a guitar player and wanted to try something different without putting down big bucks for a new instrument. That said, I was drawn to this uke because of the $100 price tag. It seems like Cordoba put this pack together for beginners (going off the the included ukulele guide and pitch pipe), but I'm really impressed by the actual ukulele itself. Part of me expected a "toy" uke, similar to the ones that you would see in Hawaiian tourist shops but this concert sized ukulele is really well made and has a nice, loud tone. The only bad thing I can think to mention is that the gig bag isn't anything to write about. If I end up taking this ukulele around, I'll probably invest in another gig bag but that's the least of my worries! According to their care card, Cordoba has a 3 yr warranty on all their products, so that's an added bonus! Last but not least, it arrived within days of when I bought it. I'm overall really happy and would recommend it to anyone!
I would recommend this to a friend!
