Size and range
The soprano (or standard) is the most widely used size of ukulele, measuring 21in (53cm) in total. Designed for small hands but great for any player. It has twelve frets and a total range between C4 and A5.
Build quality
Octopus ukuleles are built to be enjoyed for a lifetime with a production process that ensures the highest quality sound and finish.
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. 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.
Aquila Nylgut® strings
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!
Free carry case
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.
