Introducing The Alnitak

Each ORION ukulele draws inspiration from a star forming the well-known constellation. Named after one of the three stars forming Orion's Belt, the implementation of hand carved okoume grants the Alnitak its notable reddish-brown colour, causing it to closely resemble the star system its title derives from.

Rosewood on the fretboard makes for a sweet and softened sound when in conjunction with the okoume's natural frequency range. The body is coated in polyurethane to improve durability, sporting a high gloss finish as a result, and the end pin serves as the jack input, preventing the instrument cable from interfering with your performance. The binding and rosette are adorned with abalone inlays, giving the ukulele an almost nebulous appearance.

The pearl dot inlays spread across the fingerboard are sequenced in a way that emulates the seven most recognised stars in the Orion constellation, giving the fret markers a decorative layout exclusive to this brand name. The bridge houses a compensated saddle for superior intonation, and serves as a string-thru body for heightened resonance. The thin and lowered fretwires are seamless and soft to play on, forgiving to beginners if they overlap the adjacent frets with their fingertips.

High Grade Pickup System

The C1U Ukulele Pickup Systems deliver a superbly amplified tone with much simplicity and little hassle. These pickups were formulated to accurately reproduce the raw input of your uke and give you flexibility when performing.

The unit is powered by two CR2032 batteries, sustaining a lengthy amount of playtime and endurance, and the battery compartment is conveniently located just under the control panel in a patented “flip out” cradle for quick exchange. Say goodbye to detuning and slackening your strings for the sake of changing out your batteries.
