Tremendous fun
Bought the Tres having visited Cuba and been very impressed with the music over there.
The instrument has a great sound with good volume and tone.
I changed the low octave on the top E string to have a unison e as most Cuban players do these days.
The instrument lends itself to melody and 2 note partial chords.
My only criticism is the bridge saddle, which is cheep nylon/plastic and strings tend to stick a little when tuning. Have cured this by installing a bone saddle (15 minute job). It is also worth putting a little graphite in the nut and saddle slots.
All in all really good value and tremendous fun.

Lovely Instrument
Having seen these in Cuba, i was very happy to see that Thomann sold them.
Lovely sound.
Nice to play.
Only criticism is the machine heads as the tuning goes out quite quickly and fine tuning can be difficult.
However once you get used to it it is a joy to play.
If you have never owned one , buy one!
