The Ortega ECLIPSE-TE8 Tenor 8-String Ukulele enchants from first glance.

With abalone inlays, walnut binding, and a gleaming gloss finish, Ortega's expert craftsmanship does not go amiss. Plus, it's a dream to play.

The body of this uke is adorned with innovative features that not only make for a dazzling aesthetic, but also allow for incredibly comfortable playability. Take the armrest, for example. Its sleek, elegant design allows you to deliver a seamless, relaxed performance absent of any strain or ache. And it matches the 'comfort scoop' cutaway too, something which also lends itself to a magical, addictive playing experience. As you waltz right to the top frets, you can count on deliciously clear notes that are free of any muting or buzz, all courtesy of their easy accessibility.
Bigger than the standard soprano size, the tenor offers the smooth, comfortable playability that larger fingered players need. Its scaled-up size also allows for greater dynamics and sound projection, as well as a fantastic depth of tone. Better still, you'll have the superb potential of 8 strings, something which is ideal for experienced ukulele players who crave a fuller, louder, unique sound.
Two soundholes, endless waves of sound
Not only will the sound of this magnificent uke soar right out to your audience, but it will also engulf you completely. You'll be able to hear exactly what your crowd does, and you'll have sublime sound projection that travels with volume and clarity. It's an innovative design, and it's ready and waiting for your exquisite playing.
Mesmerising mahogany
The ECLIPSE-TE8 Tenor 8-String Ukulele is crafted entirely from mahogany, an incredibly sturdy wood that can handle any excessive playing. You'll have a warm, balanced tone that still retains all that renowned ukulele jangle. As well as delivering resonant and punchy sound, mahogany grows more focused as it gets older. So, you will have an instrument that won't wear, but will only become more exquisite.
