Whether you’re still learning or more proficient, the tenor body shape of this ukulele will suit you just fine.
Bamboo as a tonewood?
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.
MagusUke preamp

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.
