Giannini GCSM 4 CTE Acoustic/Electric Brazilian Streel String Cavaquinho with Gigbag Reviews
| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  No Complaints!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Giannini GCSM 4 CTE Acoustic/Electric Brazilian Streel String Cavaquinho with Gigbag I honestly have to say that this instrument felt like a steal. I bought it just for fun, and truly could not believe this sound. I even made sure that this was the right order, that this was really what I paid 250$ for. Even the onboard electronics were awesome, featuring high, low, and volume adjustments, as well as a tuner. The sound is perfect, just like a ukulele, and the action could not have been better. It plays really easily. I really can't see why this instrument would be about 4 times cheaper than the GCSM 10. I just can't see how this instrument could be any better. Seriously, if you're nothing more than a professional recording artist, this instrument will suit your purposes very well. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  A Good Student Model Cavaquinho, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Giannini GCSM 4 CTE Acoustic/Electric Brazilian Streel String Cavaquinho with Gigbag I own a GCSM10 EL, which is the top of the line hand-crafted cavaquinho from Giannini. I am thrilled with it.I wanted a 2nd "beater" cavaquinho to take to practices and carry around town, so I decided to purchase this model, which is about 1/4 the price. This is a decent student model instrument. The intonation, action and build quality are good. If I can compare it to a guitar, I'd say this is like a student model Yamaha acoustic guitar. The differences between this model, GCSM 3 CTE, and the hand-built GCSM10 EL are pretty drastic though. It would be like comparing a $1000+ Martin to a $100 Yamaha guitar. The hand-built model is beautifully finished. It is slightly bigger. It has a better action and a brighter, more resonant tone. If you are curious and you are looking for a cavaquinho to start on, I can certainly recommend this one. I can perform with it. You may consider getting it set up for better playability.
