Millar CD-260W All Solid Cedar & Rosewood Tenor Ukulele
This CD-260W from Millar is an all solid tenor ukulele, with a cedar top and Bolivian rosewood back and sides. It's a really pretty, well made and comfortable uke to play - with a sumptuous, clear voice. So that's specification, looks, finish, playability and sound all covered in the first paragraph!
The top is biscuit-brown, which sets off the maple binding very well, together with the maple and rosewood rope inlays and soundhole rosette. That binding continues up the side of the neck and around the handsome slotted headstock. Fitted to this are brushed metal finished, smooth-turning geared tuners.
The CD-260W tenor is well set up and free-playing - just a pleasure to play. The nut width of 35mm is what I usually play and suits me best so that's a plus for me! It is fitted with Worth Brown strings, which bring the best out of this instrument, with a lovely ring to them, fine balance between the bass and trebles and plenty of volume. It's a great all rounder - capable of handling anything, it simply sounds great.
That sound is more impressive than many higher priced ukuleles I’ve tried - Millar have really got things right with this model in their small workshop in Taiwan, where this is made.
