Carefully selected materials

Octopus ukuleles are built to be enjoyed for many years to come. The top, back, and sides are made of laminated open pore sapele wood which has been sustainably sourced and beautifully finished in a rich satin sheen. The side walls are also fully lined to increase projection and produce a high-quality appearance.

Quality components

Each component has been carefully selected, delivering excellence in every instrument and ensuring durability and a consistent tone. A tie bar bridge is accurately bonded to the body for excellent sound production and silver chrome diecast tuners offer reliable tuning in a shiny finish. The side walls are fully lined for sound projection and a high-quality appearance.

Graph Tech NuBone XB

NuBone does not damp string vibration like plastic. Instead, it transfers the optimum frequencies to the ukulele. This material helps produce more volume and a better tone. Octopus Rosette ukuleles feature NuBone XB nuts and saddles as standard.

The nut on a ukulele determines how easy it is to fret notes, stop fret buzz, and affects the tone of all your open notes. Graph Tech’s expert engineering promises to deliver the perfect fit and aids accurate intonation.

The saddle is vitally important to the sound of your ukulele. It establishes the height of the strings and playing action, and also determines the overall tone and volume. In other words, which frequencies and harmonics are transferred from the string to the body of your uke, and what frequencies and harmonics remain vibrating in the string.

Graph Tech is the world's expert in nut and saddle design and materials and can be found fitted to many of the world’s biggest names in guitars and ukuleles.

Aquila Nylgut strings

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 manufactures approximately 300,000 ukulele strings every day. That is enough to re-string 75,000 Octopus ukuleles.

Free carry case with every instrument

A next-level ukulele deserves to be carried in a next-level gig bag. We have created a beautiful, padded gig bag for the Octopus Ukulele, providing your instrument with excellent protection. Finished with bespoke Octopus zip pulls, each gig bag has a pair of adjustable integrated backpack straps.

Size and range

The baritone ukulele is the largest instrument in the Octopus Rosette range, offering a rich, warm voice with excellent projection and resonance. Its larger body and longer scale length produce a fuller sound than smaller ukulele sizes, making it particularly well suited to solo performance, accompaniment and fingerstyle playing.

The increased spacing between the frets provides a comfortable playing experience for adult players, while the deeper tonal character gives the baritone a distinctive sound that bridges the gap between a traditional ukulele and a small acoustic guitar.
