Introducing TheAlnitak

Each ORIONukulele draws inspiration from a star forming the well-known constellation.Named after one of the three stars forming Orion’s Belt, the implementation of hand carved okoume grants the Alnitak its notable reddish-brown colour, causing it to closely resemblethe star system its title derives from.

Rosewoodon the fretboard makes for a sweet and softened sound when in conjunction with the okoume’s natural frequency range.The body is coated in polyurethane to improve durability, sporting a high gloss finish as a result, and the end pin serves as the jack input, preventing the instrument cable from interfering with yourperformance. The binding and rosette are adorned with abalone inlays, giving the ukulele an almost nebulous appearance.

The pearl dot inlays spread across the fingerboard are sequenced in a way that emulates the seven most recognised stars in theOrion constellation, giving the fret markers a decorative layout exclusive to this brand name.The bridge houses a compensated saddlefor superior intonation, and serves as astring-thru body for heightened resonance.The thin and lowered fretwires are seamless and soft to play on, forgiving to beginnersif they overlap the adjacent frets with their fingertips.
