Cordoba's 20TM is a tenor ukulele from the 20 series, the step above the entry-level 15 range.

YouTube video GotAUkulele · 2016-07 — Got A Ukulele plays and inspects a Cordoba 20TM-CE tenor ukulele.

Why it matters

Cordoba builds a broad ukulele line, and the 20 series is where solid timber and traditional detailing begin. The 20TM keeps the tenor scale used for chord melody and lead work while adding the trim of the higher series. It occupies the middle of the range rather than the cheapest or the most expensive end.

Note

Solid mahogany tenor in the same family as the 15CM, with a slotted headstock.

Specifications

  • Scale length: unknown
  • Neck shape: unknown

Before you buy

  • The same body is sold with and without a cutaway and pickup, so the version matters
  • Tenor scale suits lead and chord melody more than first-position strumming
  • The 20 series costs more than the 15 range for a modest step in materials
