Ok for the price but better strings won't fit without drilling.
TrEr 27.07.2020
The first one I got was smashed to bits. No wonder when they are shipped inside a VERY flimsy "gig bag" with only a thin plastic bag on the outside. No cardboard box.

Thomann kindly replaced the broken one but shipped the second one in the exact same way. By some miracle it arrived in one piece.

It's a decent instrument for the price but the stock strings aren't the best. When trying to replace them with better strings (the ones recommended by Thomann) I got a problem. The better quality strings were too thick for the holes in the body of the instrument. New holes had to be drilled and although this might not seem like a huge problem it was actually not that easy. Clamping down the instrument and using a heavy electrical hand held drill is far from ideal for this kind of precision work on a rather flimsy instrument. The right tools for this kind of work is definitely not something you will find in a regular hardware store.

I somehow managed to make it work but I was really close to ruining the instrument in the process.

It's a decent sounding instrument for the price but unless you are prepared to use the cheaper, thinner strings you might have a problem.

Tuning stability on mine is awful but I wasn't expecting it to be much better at this price.

As something fun to have around the studio I'm reasonably happy with it but it's not exactly pro level quality. At least mine isn't. I expect they can vary a bit at this price.

Opción barata para probar algo distinto
Kalandra 18.10.2020
La construcción del instrumento es básica, no tiene defectos pero tampoco es una maravilla. No es un instrumento profesional, incluso tampoco diría que para practicar día a día, es más bien para tener otro instrumento de cuerda con el que tocar sonidos distintos y jugar un poco. Como contra la posición de los trastes no está bien ajustada y muchas posiciones no dan el sonido que debería, hay que ajustarlas a mano.

Gut mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern
Urklang 30.06.2020
Der Klang der Cura ist weich, zurückhaltend und relativ leise, was bei dem kleinen Format auch zu erwarten ist. Mir persönlich gefällt das sehr gut, ist aber natürlich Geschmacksache. Alle Töne sind sauber anzuspielen, nichts scharrt, eigentlich erstaunlich, bei der niedrigen Saitenlage. Die Verarbeitung ist in Ordnung, jedoch nicht perfekt. Kleine, optische Unsauberkreiten kann man bei dem Preis in Kauf nehmen. Die Wirbel sind allerdings keine Schmuckstücke, hier wurden Exemplare verwendet, die mit Fug und Recht als Ausschuss zu bezeichnen sind. Ausgebrochene und sägezahnartige Kanten sollten auch bei einem niedrigen Preis nicht vorkommen. Schade, denn ihre Funktion ist dagegen absolut makellos, was ja nicht selbstverständlich ist. Ich hätte mir sofort die angebotenen Ersatzwirbel bestellt, wenn nicht zu befürchten wäre, dass sie ähnlich aussehen. Das im Angebot angekündigte Plektrum fehlte. Durch eine andere Rezension im Vorfeld darauf aufmerksam geworden, hatte ich gleich welche mitbestellt. Achtung, die SpezialPlektren für Baglamas sind superweich, man sollte keine Gitarrenplektren verwenden, allein der Decke zuliebe. ;-)
Fazit: Ein schönes Instrument, in guter Qualität zum günstigen Preis.
