A lively, instantly recognisable tone
Experience a familiar ukulele tone with a visually striking twist. This modern take on a traditional ukulele brings you an instrument that is perfect for unleashing true creativity. The Ortega HYDRA has a tenor-sized ovangkol body which produces a well-balanced response to a wide variety of techniques. Additionally, ovangkol is known to produce similar sonic-qualities to rosewood. And it delivers a well-rounded tone with a pronounced mid-range.
Furthermore, the HYDRA's lively and distinctive tone is delivered beautifully. And thanks to its tenor body, the Double Neck Ukulele has respectable volume, and the ability to project sound with clarity. Tenor sized ukuleles are also known for their slightly deeper sound. Although the ukulele is bigger than its other family members, it still offers comfortable playability. Modern and unique with Ortega's meticulous attention to detail, it's time to shine with a double neck, and double your creativity.
