ORION UKULELE

The creation of the ORION ukulele series stemmed from extensive years of research, experimentation, and hands-on exploration with numerous ukulele brands. Leveraging our background as seasoned ukulele enthusiasts who have meticulously sampled various brands, we collated a wealth of insights and characteristics that we consider crucial in ukuleles—attributes often absent in other rival brands.

At the heart of our company lies the belief that experience reigns supreme—a principle we hold in high regard. Guided by this mindset, a journey of rigorous trials, continual refinements, and effective communication unfolded. Our exceptionally organised manufacturing partner adeptly synthesized our concepts, resulting in the realization of the ORION ukulele line.

IT ALL STARTED WITH EXPERIENCE.

Our eyes are set on a closer examination of our builder's meticulous setup, technical expertise, wood thickness, and material caliber. These elements collectively contribute to the hallmark of a consistently high-quality ukulele with exceptional tonal attributes.

With full confidence, we affirm that our ukuleles boast remarkable sustain and tonality, attributes that truly come alive when experienced through play.

In the realm of aesthetics, our gloss models undergo a meticulous process. They receive an ultra-thin polyurethane coating that is skillfully buffed to achieve a consistently radiant high gloss. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also safeguards the integrity of the tonewoods within our ukuleles. Our commitment to precision shines through every detail of our finishing, garnering praise for our exacting spray-on finish—from the intricacies of the slotted headstocks to the often overlooked soundhole ring, and throughout the body.

SETTING OUR UKULELES TO BE BETTER.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

The cornerstone and prized hallmark of our ukuleles reside in our comfort low action setup and the distinct 'nail' frets we employ. These features combine to create an unparalleled ease of playability, particularly catering to beginners and adults who may encounter challenges when pressing down on the strings. This optimised design ensures that the strings can be effortlessly depressed and held without compromising their tension. The credit for this achievement goes to our highly skilled workshop artisans, who consistently achieve this level of precision across every single ORION ukulele. Replicating such a setup would require countless hours even for aspiring luthiers. When you explore any of our ukuleles, you can anticipate experiencing the same exceptional accuracy and comfortable feel.

Our senior builder aptly dubs our frets as 'nail' frets—slender and close to the fingerboard like metal nails. This arrangement facilitates seamless finger movement up and down the ukulele neck, eliminating any sense of sluggishness or constraint. This aspect holds particular significance for our advanced ukulele players who seek swift and precise transitions, enabling them to play at high speeds with unwavering accuracy.
