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 accentuates the colourful strings and gives you 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.
Be moved to song by the approachable elegance of the Octopus Academy series. Your first few chords are printed on the box, which will get you serenading in no time!
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.
These Octopus ukuleles are built to be enjoyed for a lifetime. The classical guitar style bridge is accurately bonded directly to the body for excellent sound production and reliability.
The tuning pegs are geared like a guitar meaning the strings are easier to tighten and will hold their pitch for longer. The side walls of the body are fully lined for stability, sound projection and high-quality appearance. Every edge and all the frets have been smoothed and finished to a standard higher than many more expensive instruments.
Each ukulele comes fitted with Aquila Nylgut® Kids Colour strings to aid with note recognition. These are perfect for large group ukulele classes, making learning and teaching a little easier, and much more fun! 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.
At Chamberlain Music, we're committed to ensuring that your Octopus instrument continues to deliver exceptional performance for years to come. Made with quality materials and unmatched attention to detail, Octopus’ products benefit from the very highest manufacturing standards; that's why we offer you the option to extend your warranty from the standard 2 year warranty to 5 years!
