Thomann Tres Cubano Standard CCW

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.

I immediately noticed that the Thomann Tres Cubano Standard CCW was crafted by a skilled luthier, most likely a Cuban one. The craftsmanship is evident in the quality of sound it produces—rich, resonant, and full of that traditional Cuban flavor. Whether played acoustically or amplified, the sound remains clear and vibrant, making it a joy to play in any setting. The reinforced bridge, supported by a metal plate, ensures the strings are held securely, adding to the instrument's durability and consistency in sound quality.
One of the standout features of this tres is its built-in tuner, which is a fantastic addition for any musician. It makes tuning quick and easy, ensuring you're always ready to play. The ability to amplify the instrument opens up a world of performance possibilities, allowing you to share its beautiful tones with larger audiences. Overall, the Thomann Tres Cubano Standard CCW is a remarkable instrument that blends tradition with modern enhancements, making it a perfect choice for any tres player.
