Ortega Onyx Series Concert Ukulele, Black Overview
The Ortega Onyx Series Concert Ukulele teams a variety of tonewoods together for a clear, versatile, dynamic sound. Taking centre stage is a spruce top, adorned with a mahogany soundhole rosette. It delivers a gorgeously articulate tone with fantastic volume, whilst always remaining sonically balanced - perfect for a range of genres. You'll then have the warmth and emphasised midrange frequencies of mahogany back and sides and the elegant aesthetic of a walnut headstock veneer.
The mahogany neck is topped with a techwood fretboard, allowing for a silky-smooth surface to glide upon. Dance across the frets with ease and comfort. It's a magical playing experience. What's more, thanks to the magnificent concert shape, you'll have superb sound projection - greater than the classic soprano uke. Let every chord ring out with volume and clarity - that's exactly what the concert shape promises. Plus, it's a dream to play.

Larger than the standard soprano size, the concert is suitable for numerous techniques and styles, whilst always offering smooth playability right across its extended range. You'll have 18 frets at your fingertips - the preferred choice for soloists - and full sonic scope. Plus, the concert boasts more room for vibrations, resulting in greater dynamics and wonderful sound projection.
Mahogany and spruce
The Ortega Onyx Series Concert Ukulele has a body crafted from mahogany, an incredibly sturdy wood that can handle any excessive playing. You'll have a warm, balanced tone that still retains all that renowned ukulele jangle. As well as delivering resonant and punchy sound, mahogany grows more focused as it gets older. So, you will have an instrument that won't wear, but will only become more exquisite.
Complementing the mahogany body is a spruce top, delivering dazzling clarity and dynamics in abundance. The beauty of spruce lies in its crisp, balanced sound that suits a range of genres. Its versatility is unmatched, and its popularity is unfaltering.
