Ortega ECLIPSE-TE6 Tenor 6-String Ukulele, Mahogany

Full Description

Tenor Body with Comfortable Design

The Ortega ECLIPSE-TE6 features a tenor body, providing the player with comfort and a deeper, fuller tonal output than smaller members of the ukulele family. In addition, the ECLIPSE-TE6 is easy to hold close to the body, making it perfect for long practice sessions. Additionally, the ECLIPSE-TE6 provides added comfort via its scooped cutaway profile, offering easy access to upper frets with an incredibly stable and comfortable grip. The ECLIPSE-TE6 also features a built-in armrest constructed from walnut, offering comfort and stability for the right arm. Furthermore, the Ortega ECLIPSE-TE6 has a 6-string construction which projects a rich, lively and more resonant tone with delicately ringing sustain. The 6-string build is also ideal for the more experienced ukulele player craving a more distinct sound to add to their musical setup. Its tenor body also has more frets due to the longer scale length, which provides the player with more sonic possibilities, perfect for experimenting with traditional clawhammer techniques to rhythm/strumming and a variety of picking styles.

Solid Mahogany Construction

The Ortega ECLIPSE-TE6 Tenor 6-String features a body crafted entirely from solid mahogany, providing the player with a rich and resonant sound with added tonal output thanks to its 6-strings. Its 6-string construction allows the ECLIPSE-TE6 to project a more resonant sound with ringing sustain. Additionally, the ECLIPSE-TE6 produces a warm, resonant sound which has become well-known as the classic ukulele sound. The ECLIPSE-TE6's solid mahogany build also projects mid-range emphasis with a punchy, woody sonic-character. Furthermore, the ECLIPSE-TE6 also provides the player with a lively, delicate and vibrant sound with great dynamics and definition. Lastly, the overall tone produced responds superbly to picking and strumming alike while its 6-string construction enables the player to achieve numerous techniques with ease.

Okoume Neck & Walnut Fingerboard

Constructed from okoume, the ECLIPSE-TE6's neck offers similar tonal properties to maple, adding a clear, bright tone with great sustain and plenty of bite to the overall sound. Additionally, the neck's profile offers a comfortable playing experience whilst travelling up and down the fingerboard. Furthermore, the neck is topped with a walnut fingerboard, which not only offers a pleasing aesthetic but adds a balanced, unique earthy tone the the Ortega's overall sound.
