A Classic Portable Inspired by a 1950s Design
The Waterman follows a simple philosophy: to offer a versatile, durable, and accessible ukulele inspired by the 1950s Maccaferri models. With the Beach Collection, it retains this idea of an "all-terrain" instrument while adding a satin finish and colors that enhance its fun and nomadic identity.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its concert size, the Waterman targets a wide audience: beginners seeking an easy-to-handle instrument, teachers and schools looking for reliability, as well as musicians wanting a backup ukulele for outdoor use. It is very well suited for pop-folk, reggae, vocal accompaniment, percussive rhythms, and more generally any "fun" and immediate playing style.
Sound
The choice of a body, neck, and fingerboard made of ABS composite plastic provides a clear answer to everyday constraints: stability and durability, with simplified maintenance. In concert size, it offers a pleasing balance between playing comfort and sound presence. The Aquila Super Nylgut strings strongly contribute to the instrument's character, aiming for a clear attack, good definition, and a pleasant feel under the fingers, whether strumming or fingerpicking.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of the Waterman, a clip-on tuner is a simple and reliable choice for tuning. Alternatively, you can opt for a set of Aquila Super Nylgut strings (the same reference as the original equipment) to maintain the touch and sound balance.
