The Ortega RU Series, Accessible and Innovative DNA
Since 1994, Ortega has combined traditional luthiery and German design for coherent, durable, and inspiring instruments. The RU5CETE embodies this "ready to play" philosophy: meticulous finishes, elegant laser pattern, and practical innovations (12-hole bridge) make it an iconic model of the RU series, ideal for discovering the world of the ukulele without compromising on quality.
For Whom and Which Styles?
With its tenor size, the RU5CETE suits beginners as well as intermediate players seeking a slightly wider neck and greater projection. Perfect for singing, pop, folk, "island" vibes, reggae, or light fingerstyle. The cutaway facilitates arrangements on the upper frets, and the built-in electronics allow instant switching from acoustic playing to amplified performance.
Sound
The spruce top offers attack, clarity, and definition, while the sapele back and sides provide warm, focused midrange, ensuring a precise sound that cuts through the mix. The tenor format delivers better projection and comfortable sustain. The 12-hole bridge increases the string break angle for a snappier response and stable intonation. Plugged in, the MagusUke preamp reproduces a natural tone, easy to shape on stage and in the studio.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To protect and optimize your instrument, choose a tenor ukulele gig bag or case (dedicated size), a tenor string set tuned GCEA (for example, Ortega strings), a ukulele capo, and a clip-on tuner. These accessories are fully compatible with an electro-acoustic tenor ukulele.
