OQAN QUK-20C CONCERT - Concert Ukulele in Sapele Wood
The OQAN QUK-20C CONCERT is a concert-sized ukulele that strikes the perfect balance between comfort, portability, and exceptional sound quality. Designed for both beginners looking to start with a quality instrument and experienced players, this ukulele offers a rich and rewarding musical experience. Its all-sapelli wood construction, for both the body and neck, not only gives it an elegant aesthetic with its natural open-pore matte finish, but is also the key to its warm, resonant sound with superior volume projection compared to soprano ukuleles.
The concert size makes it a versatile choice, with a slightly longer scale and more widely spaced frets that facilitate fingering and the formation of complex chords, without sacrificing the ukulele's compact and manageable essence. Every component has been carefully selected to optimize performance: the high-precision die-cast tuning machines ensure stable and long-lasting tuning, allowing you to play with confidence for longer. Furthermore, it comes standard with strings from the prestigious Aquila brand, renowned worldwide for their bright tone, excellent intonation, and superior touch response, guaranteeing that the instrument sounds perfect from the very first strum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ukulele suitable for beginners?
Yes, it's an excellent choice for beginners. The concert size offers more finger space on the fretboard than a soprano, making it easier to learn chords. Furthermore, its quality components ensure it stays in tune, preventing frustration.
What type of maintenance does it require?
Maintenance is minimal. It is recommended to clean the strings and body with a soft, dry cloth after each use. To preserve the wood, it is advisable to store it in a place with stable humidity and, if possible, in a case (compatible with model OQAN AGB01-UC).
Is it necessary to change the Aquila strings that come standard?
Not immediately. Aquila strings are high-quality and offer great performance right from the start. You'll need to change them when you notice they lose their brightness or don't hold their tuning as well as before, which depends on how often you play them.
