Chamberlain Music is a Department for Education approved supplier for the Musical Instruments, Equipment & Technology Framework
Octopus has been providing high quality beginner ukuleles for almost a decade, and the Academy series carries this tradition forward.
It is a core part of the Octopus brand philosophy that an instrument should encourage and inspire the player. This is especially important for a first instrument which can make the difference between a lifelong passion and a passing fad gathering dust.
Supplied in a classic natural finish, this is a fantastic looking instrument..
Explore the depths of your inner musician with the most popular instrument of the moment, and trust Octopus to deliver a standard of instrument which belies the modest price point.
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.
The concert ukulele is a slightly larger instrument, allowing for more space between the strings, as well as a larger body creating a fuller sound.
