Ortega RU 11 Ukulele Concert

This was the second ukulele I'd ordered having returned a much cheaper J&D one as unsuitable for my requirements - action far too high and with poor intonation.
The Ortega was concert size and at €149 it was not one of the cheapest and was made from solid mahogany with very tasteful bindings. First impressions were that unlike the cheaper JD soprano uke it had a surprisingly low action but was nowhere near as loud despite being the bigger concert size. It also had a much warmer tone due to the mahogany. In the following month I played it extensively and began to realise that the low action was probably causing some buzzing at the bridge when strumming hard and not all the strings sustained as much as I had expected. These problems can probably be rectified with a good set up but I was a little disappointed.
It comes with a good quality gig bag which is not always the case in this price range.
Overall I can say that it represents good value for money which might tempt me to order a much better instrument at some later date.

Ich habe eine Ukulele im Musicstore bestellt, nachdem ich vom Angebot auf Amazon und Co nicht überzeugt war.
Die Gitarre vom Musicstore war jedoch extrem wertig, und woanders auch nicht günstiger zu bekommen. Bin sehr zufrieden!

Die Ukulele ist wie von Ortega gewohnt sauber verarbeitet und hat einen tollen Klang, soweit ich dies als Einsteiger beurteilen kann. Das Instrument liegt gut in der Hand und es macht Spass darauf zu spielen.
Die Lieferung erfolgte wie gewohnt ohne Probleme. Ich kann dieses Instrument nur empfehlen

Tolle Verarbeitung, super Klang und liegt gut in der Hand
