Octopus' new range of soprano and concert ukuleles now features an electric version. A simple and no-fuss system, the pickup is a single coil with a 6.35mm jack socket. With one tone and one volume control, you can just plug in and rock out! The concert ukulele is slightly larger than soprano size, allowing for more space between the strings, as well as a larger body creating a fuller sound. These Octopus ukuleles are built to be enjoyed for a lifetime. The classical guitar style bridge is accurately bonded directly to the body for excellent sound production and reliability. The tuning pegs are geared like a guitar meaning the strings are easier to tighten and will hold their pitch for longer. The side walls of the body are fully lined for stability, sound projection and high-quality appearance. Every edge and all the frets have been smoothed and finished to a standard higher than many more expensive instruments. Each ukulele comes fitted with Aquila Nylgut strings as standard, the best in the world for intonation and tone. Produced exclusively in Italy, the Aquila factory produces approximately 300,000 ukulele strings every day that’s enough to re-string 75,000 Octopus ukuleles! When not in use, your Octopus can protect itself from spills and splashes by hiding in your handy gig bag which acts as a carrying case, supplied free with every instrument.
