Perfect for players looking for a bigger sound, the tenor design offers an easily maneuverable size and is ideal for progressing musicians. You’ll be able to reach all the strings with minimal strain thanks to the cutaway body shape, allowing you to progress further and be more creative with your playing, with a wider tonal palette and additional sustain. Whether you’re still learning or more proficient, the tenor body shape of this ukulele will suit you just fine.
More commonly used for ukuleles than any other guitar type, bamboo is a wood type that produces a wonderful sustain alongside a strong projection. It also brings a lovely high end which is clear and pronounced, ideal for any stringed instrument which naturally sits at a higher register – as most ukuleles do. What’s more, bamboo is also known for being both loud and highly durable.
Volume and projection are key for a smaller instrument to be heard and this is perhaps why Ortega have opted for a solid body, neck and fingerboard of bamboo. When you invest in any instrument, you want it to stick around for a long time – and you can be sure that this ukulele will not only stick around, but further reward you with tonal development over time and multiple uses.
Precisely tweak your tone. The 3-Band EQ lets you easily dial in the correct amount of bass, middle and treble so you can achieve you ideal sound. A tuner button instantly mutes your ukulele’s signal, allowing you to silently use the built-in tuner. It features an easily accessible battery compartment which provides the ultimate convenience if you need to quickly change the batteries before a show. With this preamp system, you will be able to deliver superior amplified tone at a tremendous volume.
The Ortega MagnusUke system allows you to easily add the power of amplification to your favourite ukulele. With the preamp installed, you can plug your instrument into a PA system or acoustic amplifier – perfect for playing on stage or at open mics. The detailed under-saddle pickup captures the natural tone of you uke, so all you have to do is plug in, play, and enjoy.
