OQAN GUITALELE QUK-G6 - The Perfect Hybrid between Guitar and Ukulele
Discover the OQAN GUITALELE QUK-G6, an innovative instrument that merges the portability and bright sound of a ukulele with the versatility and range of a classical guitar. Designed for musicians seeking a travel companion or a new sound for their compositions, the guitalele QUK-G6 offers a unique and rewarding musical experience. Its meticulous construction and quality materials ensure a reliable instrument for both beginners and experienced players.
The body and neck, crafted entirely from sapele wood, not only lend it a warm and elegant aesthetic but are also key to its sound. Sapele is known for producing a balanced and rich tone, with pronounced mids and clear highs, similar to mahogany. This ensures that every chord and melody has excellent definition and resonance. The natural satin finish respects the wood grain and provides a comfortable feel.
Main Features
The OQAN QUK-G6 guitalele is built to inspire. Its fingerboard is made of compound rosewood, a durable composite material that offers a smooth and consistent playing surface, making fingering and chord playing easier. The 432 mm scale length, shorter than that of a conventional guitar, reduces string tension and makes it incredibly comfortable to play, especially for those with smaller hands or those new to stringed instruments.
A distinctive feature is its gold-plated tuning pegs, which not only add a high-end visual touch but also ensure precise and stable tuning. Furthermore, it comes standard with Aquila strings, a world-renowned brand recognized for its quality, durability, and ability to produce a bright and powerful sound in instruments of this type. To complete the set, a carrying case is included to protect the instrument from bumps and scratches, making it easy to transport.
Benefits for the Musician
The OQAN QUK-G6 is the ideal solution for the modern musician. For guitarists, it represents a natural and easy transition, as its tuning (A-D-G-C-E-A) is equivalent to placing a capo on the fifth fret of a standard guitar, allowing the use of the same chord fingerings. For ukulele players, it offers the opportunity to explore a lower register and two additional strings, greatly expanding their harmonic possibilities.
Its compact size makes it the ultimate travel companion. Take it with you to gatherings, camping trips, or vacations without sacrificing sound quality or comfort. It's an instrument that inspires creativity, perfect for songwriting or simply enjoying music anywhere.
