RUOCEAN-CE Concert Electro-Acoustic Ukulele

Ortega RUOCEAN-CE Earth Series Electro-Acoustic Ukulele with Tuner

Okoume Ocean Blue electro-acoustic ukulele with tuner

Part of Ortega's Earth Series, The RUOCEAN-CE is one of the more visually striking ukuleles in the series. The popular Ortega Earth Series is offered in 10 beautiful colors, with or without electronics.

The colorful ukuleles have a transparent open pore finish and optional electronics with a built-in tuner.

The stunning RUOCEAN-CE is crafted with a natural wood grain that comes through with the ocean blue open pore finish.

Being a family-owned company based in the small town of Gutenstetten, Germany, at Ortega Guitars, they have designed the Earth Series ukuleles with a classic sound, look and feel that doesn't try to "challenge" what a great ukulele should be.

Instead, each element is carefully chosen and crafted to sound instantly recognizable while lasting a lifetime.

Okoume Open Pore Ukulele Finish

This ukulele uses okoume wood to craft the body, neck and headstock (this is a rich tone wood that's used as a direct substitute for mahogany). It delivers a sound full of warmth, depth, resonance and clarity. From first strum you'll notice an instantly recognisable sound with all that bright, lively jangle you cherish.

Top grade walnut is used for the fretboard and bridge that adds a high-end look with classic sound. It's beautifully balanced, defined, and incredibly responsive to your individual touch.

A beautiful, natural wood grain comes through with the ocean blue open pore finish. Stand out in style!

Modern Die-Cast Tuning Machines

Chrome plated die-cast tuning machines with synthetic black buttons give the ukulele a clean and modern look while being easy to operate.

This design keeps the gears sealed from outside elements for added durability. These tuners allow for fast re-stringing, precise tuning adjustments, and they have an effortless touch when turning the buttons.

Crystal-Clear Concert Chime

It's the ukulele sound that people crave. With a little extra depth and warmth, the concert size delivers more vigor than the classic soprano, and it also accommodates a wider range of techniques. This is all down to its larger body and extended scale length.

The concert size (scale 380 mm) blends crisp string articulation with full tonal development from the 68 mm deep body for a classic ukulele sound that can be used in virtually any setting. This scale responds with a warm presence that can easily fill a room with sound.

The Earth Series Concert electro-acoustic ukulele with tuner is equipped with four strings (high G tuning: G,C,E,A). These white nylon strings are designed for warmth and punchy tone.
