Octopus Academy electro-acoustic soprano ukulele in natural

Product Description 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 large jack end pin socket. With one tone and one volume control, you can just plug in and rock out! Octopus ukuleles are built to be enjoyed for a lifetime. The new range continues to surpass expectation – an improved production process bringing the highest quality sound and finish yet. Each component has been carefully selected and constructed, delivering excellence in each instrument. A classical guitar style bridge is accurately bonded to the body for excellent sound production, tuning pegs are geared like a guitar so they hold their pitch for longer and all side walls are fully lined for stability, sound projection and a high quality appearance. Octopus have even smoothed all edges and every fret for a finish surpassing that of many more expensive ukes. 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. The soprano (or standard) is the most widely used size of ukulele, measuring 21in (53cm) in total. It has twelve frets and a total range between C4 and A5.

Build: The benchmark features you would expect from an Octopus instrument are of course present here – easy to use geared machine head tuners, Aquila Super Nylgut strings and our instantly recognisable OctoWave shaped headstock. In addition, the UK205 model now offers: A classical guitar style bridge is directly affixed to the body of the instrument. The surface of the instrument is first cleaned by laser to maximise the wood on wood contact which boosts the quality of tone and sustain as well as making the bond between the bridge and body extra secure. Inside the instrument, the sides of the body are fully lined – this means the sides are thicker than before, which adds strength to the construction and contributes to the sound projection of the instrument. UK205 series Octopus ukuleles are supplied with a simple black Octopus branded canvas gig bag with side carrying handle so you can always keep your ukulele to hand.
